In March 2023, 5 years after The Thundermans finished its run on Nickelodeon, a follow-up film was greenlit by the company. Frequent series director Kirschner was announced to be returning for the follow-up, while Spingarn and series supervising producers Cunningham and Dworkin were confirmed to be writing the screenplay along with Donald. Dan Cross and David Hoge, two other writers and executive producers for the series, were announced to be serving as executive producers alongside stars Kosarin and Griffo, who were confirmed to return alongside Riecke, Velazquez, Le Clark, Tallman, and Blaisi. The rest of the returning cast was confirmed and filled out by the time filming began in early April 2023 in Los Angeles and wrapped at the end of the month. Brothers Caleb and Brian Chan composed the film's musical score, adapting elements of the music from the TV series composed by Ron Wasserman.
The Thundermans Return premiered on Nickelodeon on March 7, 2024, and was simultaneously available for streaming on Paramount+.
Following the success of the film, a spin-off series has been greenlit.[1]
