HOLLYWOOD, Calif., March 2, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Nickelodeon Studios today announced the greenlight of The Thundermans Return, an all-new feature-length movie based on the hit live-action superhero comedy, The Thundermans.

Production on The Thundermans Return will begin in Los Angeles this April, with premiere details to be announced at a later date.
Said Zack Olin and Shauna Phelan, Co-Heads of Nickelodeon & Awesomeness Live-Action, “It’s been such a joy to return to Hiddenville with this iconic superhero family and original cast. This movie is made for the audiences who fell in love with the show’s original run on Nick and also for today’s generation discovering it on streaming.”
In the movie, twins Phoebe and Max are enjoying their superhero lifestyle, but when one ‘save’ goes awry, the Thundermans are sent back to Hiddenville. While Hank and Barb enjoy their return, and Billy and Nora look forward to a normal high school life, Max and Phoebe are determined to regain their superhero status.
