''The Thundermans'' is a live-action sitcom about on a suburban family of super-humans. It debuted on October 14, 2013, on {{Creator/Nickelodeon}}. In 2016, it became the first live-action series on the network to be renewed for a full-order fourth season since since ''Series/BigTimeRush''.

Created by Jed Spingarn (a writer for ''[[WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfJimmyNeutronBoyGenius Jimmy Neutron]]'' and ''WesternAnimation/BackAtTheBarnyard''), the show focuses on a 14-year-old set of superhero twins named Phoebe and Max (one a superhero, the other an aspiring super''villain''). Together, they learn to get through life with their superhero parents Barb and Hank and three younger siblings Nora, Billy, and Chloe after the family relocates to the town of Hiddenville in order to live a normal life away from the superhero business. The family must learn to fit in with normal human culture while keeping their identities hidden, hence the town name.
