Nickelodeon announced Thursday a 13-episode order of The Loud House. The first series to be greenlit out of its 2013 Animated Shorts Program.
Inspired by first-time creator Chris Savino’s (Rocko’s Modern Life, The Powerpuff Girls) chaotic life growing up in a huge household, the series will follow 11-year-old Lincoln as he gives an inside look at what it takes to survive in the bedlam of a large family, especially as the only boy with 10 sisters.
The series is based off a short of the same name from the 2013 Animated Shorts Program, and will air on Nickelodeon.
“The Loud House has all the qualities Nickelodeon looks for in creator-driven content that has strong central characters blended with comedic storylines,” said Jenna Boyd, senior VP, Animation Development, Nickelodeon Group.
“Chris Savino comes to us already with an industry background, but the firsthand experience he brings to this project really puts a personal touch on it, making it not only relatable but laugh out loud funny.”
The global program is designed to identify and develop original comedy-driven content for kids. Pitches chosen from the program are developed into animated shorts with the potential to air on Nickelodeon, appear on www.nick.com, or on the Emmy Award-winning Nick App, with the possibility of becoming a long-form animated series on the network.
Nickelodeon, now in its 35th year, is an entertainment brand for kids.
