The Thundermans Return is a 2024 American superhero comedy film directed by Trevor Kirschner and written by Jed Spingarn, Eric Donald, and the writing team of Sean William Cunningham and Marc Dworkin. It is a follow-up film to the Nickelodeon comedy television series The Thundermans (2013–18), created by Spingarn. The film stars Kira Kosarin, Jack Griffo, Addison Riecke, Diego Velazquez, Maya Le Clark, Chris Tallman, and Rosa Blasi, reprising their roles as the Thunderman family. Dana Snyder also reprises his voice role as Dr. Colosso, alongside a returning ensemble cast that includes Daniele Gaither, Harvey Guillén, Helen Hong, Tanner Stine, Kenny Ridwan, Audrey Whitby, Jake Borelli, Jeff Meacham, Michael Foster, Jamieson Price, and Paul F. Tompkins.
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 executive producers Cunningham and Dworkin were confirmed to be writing the screenplay along with Donald. Dan Cross and David Hoge, two other writers 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+. It has been described as a possible lead-in to a future revival series.
