'The Thundermans Return' Gets Premiere Date; Trailer Coming Sunday

The reunion movie for the Nickelodeon sitcom premieres March 7 on Paramount+ and a 7 PM timeslot on Nickelodeon

It feels so unlikely that the main CBS broadcast of Super Bowl LVIII will share any of its ads with Nickelodeon’s, and that includes the trailers, even for the family-friendly films. However, even as the reported expectations rolled in, The Thundermans swooped in to save the day.

The first network for kids announced Monday that The Thundermans Return, the new movie reuniting the cast of their 2013-2018 superhero sitcom The Thundermans will premiere on Thursday, March 7 at 7 PM, released on Paramount+ earlier that day, as Thursdays are the streamer’s typical traffic day for original series and movies. A March premiere window had already been revealed when the teaser was released from CCXP in December. Its first trailer will be debuting during Super Bowl LVIII live from Bikini Bottom, the first to be confirmed for the big game, where star Kira Kosarin, who plays Phoebe Thunderman, will seemingly be a correspondent covering all the leadup events. The full official poster has also been released.

The Thundermans Return also stars Jack Griffo as her twin brother Max, Addison Riecke as Nora, Diego Velazquez as Billy, Maya Le Clark as youngest child Chloe, with Harvey Guillén returning as Blobbin and Dana Snyder presumably back as Dr. Colosso, as two of probably a good handful of promised returning favorites. The film centers around the superpowered family suffering a setback three years into their time protecting Metroburg. A failed mission has them stripped of that assignment and sent back to Hiddenville. Hank and Barb enjoy their return, with Billy and Nora looking forward to a normal high school experience, and Chloe quickly making friends of her own, but Max and Phoebe are eager to get back their superhero status.

Created and executive produced by Jed Spingarn, the original Thundermans series ranked as the top series across all TV in the Kids 2-11 and 6-11 demographics during its time. Spingarn also writes The Thundermans Return, which is directed by Trevor Kirschner, who previously directed episodes of the series. Both Kosarin and Griffo serve as executive producers alongside Dan Cross and David Hoge, as they are both are at the age where they can take on such roles with their thorough understanding of not only their characters, but others and the show as a whole.

Deadpool 3 is among the titles expected to debut their trailers during Super Bowl LVIII’s main CBS broadcast. I wrote the article for CultureSlate covering the movies believed to be getting Super Bowl spots last year, and many of them didn’t actually happen. I called dibs on Elemental but that ended up being a dud. I did cover The Flash (also requested, for tonal reasons), so this year I’m skipping the speculation and just covering as many trailers as I can, so look out for that and check out the official The Thundermans Return poster below.
