Nickelodeon Studios has greenlit The Thundermans Return, a feature-length movie based on the live-action superhero comedy The Thundermans, which ran from 2013 to 2018.

The movie will follow the family of superheroes as they begin a new era of crimefighting. Original cast members such as Kira Kosarin, Jack Griffo, Addison Riecke and Diego Velazquez are set to reprise their roles.

In The Thundermans Return, twins Phoebe and Max are enjoying their superhero lifestyle, but when one save goes awry, the family is sent back to Hiddenville. While their parents 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.

In addition to Kosarin, Griffo, Riecke and Velazquez, Maya Le Clark, Chris Tallman and Rosa Blasi will also be returning.

The Thundermans Return is being written by Jed Spingarn (Big Time Rush, Jimmy Neutron) and directed by Trevor Kirschner (The Thundermans, Raven’s Home, The Conners). Executive producers are Spingarn, Kosarin, Griffo, Dan Cross and David Hoge. Production is set to begin in Los Angeles in April.

“It’s been such a joy to return to Hiddenville with this iconic superhero family and original cast,” said Zack Olin and Shauna Phelan, co-heads of Nickelodeon and Awesomeness live-action series and films. “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.”
