Still exhibiting signs of reboot fever, Nickelodeon Studios is reviving 10-year-old superhero series The Thundermans with a new live-action film project in the works. It will join Zoey 102 (working title), new iCarly and Rugrats series and a live-action musical Snow Day movie for Paramount+ in the LA-based studio’s pipeline.

Shooting on The Thunderman Returns is scheduled to start this April. The pic will focus on a superhero family struggling to balance living normal lives with the allure of using their powers.

Four seasons of The Thundermans series ran on Nickelodeon from 2013 to 2018, and it has experienced a resurgence in popularity since launching on Netflix in Q4 2021, according to the company.

Series creator and executive producer Jed Springarn is scriptwriting and executive producing the film, with Trevor Kirschner (The Thundermans) directing. Kira Kosarin, Jack Griffo, Dan Cross and David Hoge as executive producers, with Zack Olin and Shauna Phelan (co-heads of live action for Nickelodeon & Awesomeness) overseeing production.
