"The Thundermans" is a brand-new scripted half-hour comedy series which follows Max (Jack Griffo) and Phoebe (Kira Kosarin), super-powered teenage twins who take sibling rivalry to superhuman heights.
Thanks to the cosmic game of genetic roulette, these twins are complete polar opposites, 14-year-old Phoebe is an overachieving straight-A student and her twin brother Max is a super villain wannabe. It is a constant battle in the Thunderman household as both twins are turbocharged by freeze breath and the power to move objects via telekinesis, but while Phoebe strives to use her powers for good, Max embraces his dark side.

Max and Phoebe's younger brother Billy (Diego Velazquez) moves at super speed, while their younger sister Nora (Addison Riecke) cuts solid objects with her laser beam eyes. Rounding out the family are parents are Father Hank (Chris Tallman), who possesses extraordinary strength and the ability to fly, and Mother Barb (Rosa Blasi), who can generate lightning from her hands.
Ultimately, the family must attempt to keep their powers under wraps and lead a "normal" life... but can life ever be "normal" in a family of superheroes?
Created and executive produced by three-time Emmy Award-winner Jed Spingarn ("Big Time Rush", "Jimmy Neutron"), the half-hour series introduces new Nickelodeon talent Kira Kosarin and Jack Griffo. Multi-instrumentalist, singer-song writer and actress Kira Kosarin makes her Nickelodeon debut as superheroine Phoebe Thunderman. Viewers will recognise Jack Griffo from his recent role starring in Nickelodeon original TV movie "Jinxed", Griffo has also achieved YouTube success with his acoustic covers of popular songs attracting over two million views.
In the premiere episode of "The Thundermans", "Adventures in Supersitting", we meet the Thunderman family for the first time and Phoebe and Max are left with the annoying task of babysitting younger siblings Billy and Nora.
