1. The Thundermans Are Superheroes

The Thundermans is a show all about an American family trying to keep a secret -they're actually superheroes! Each member of the family has their own special powers, although parents Barb and Hank are trying their best to live 'normal' lives - it doesn't always go to plan!

2. The Show Has Nearly 100 Episodes

That's right, the show clocks in at 98 episodes over four series! And if we include the 2024 movie, it's technically 99! Impressive!

3. Nora Always Wears a Bow

Nora is the second youngest (after Chloe) Thunderman, and in every single episode, she has a bow in her hair! In the film, she wears a bow-shaped necklace. She has lots of different ones, but pink is her favourite colour! Can you spot them all?

4. Kira and Jack Are Not Twins in Real Life

Despite playing super twins, Kira and Jack, who play Phoebe and Max, are not twins in real life. In fact, they're not even the same age! Kira is younger by 10 months!

5. There Are a Surprising Number of Friends References

The creators of the Thundermans must have a thing for Friends, because the 90s sitcom gets referenced surprisingly often! For example, Phoebe's full name is revealed to be Phoebe Monica Rachel - the names of Friends female characters!

6. It Shares a Set With Victorious

If you're wondering why some of the scenes in The Thundermans look oddly familiar...that's because they share a set with fellow Nickelodeon show, Victorious! TV shows often do this to save money. How many of the same sets do you recognise?

7. There is a Film Version of the Show

Yes, a film of The Thundermans came out in March 2024, and was broadcast on Paramount+. In the film, the Thundermans must act when a meteor hits Metroburg - but that's only the start of their problems!

8. Max & Phoebe's Handshake is Based on a Real One

In 'Revenge of the Smith' the handshake that Max and Phoebe do is actually based on a real one their actors have done together since season one!

9. It's Award Winning

The show has been nominated several times at the Kids Choice Awards - and even won one for Favourite TV show in 2016! It was also nominated for a children's BAFTA the same year!

10. The Show's Netflix Move Boosted It

When Netflix started showing The Thundermans in the 2000s, it got a ratings boost and has emerged as one of the most popular tween shows out there! And without that boost, we would probably never have gotten the 2024 film!

11. The Cast Have Their Own Talents

Although they're not superheroes in real life, the cast do have some impressive skills! For example, Kira is a dancer in real life, and Max does some of his own stunts in the show! They're also both singers who have released music in real life too!

12. Max Wasn't Always Played by Jack Griffo

In the original 2012 pilot, Max wasn't played by Jack Griffo, but Tyler Peterson!

13. Kira Kosarin Was Destined to do the Show

When Kira first arrived in Hollywood, she was asked what sort of show she wanted to be on. She replied 'A Nickelodeon show!' and the rest is history!

14. Jack Griffo Comes From a Big Family in Real Life

It probably felt super natural for Jack to play a Thunderman, as he already comes from a big family - he's one of five! In real life however, he isn't the oldest- he's the youngest! And we assume they don't have any superpowers!

15. There's Going to be a Spinoff Series

In May 2024, it was announced that there would be a brand new spinoff series, starring Kira Kosarin, Jack Griffo and Maya Le Clark! The series will follow Phoebe and Max as they investigate strange happenings in the seaside town of Secret Shores.
