The Loud House is an American sitcom multimedia franchise, owned by Nickelodeon, following the chaotic everyday life of large families, in particular that of the eponymous Loud family. Created by Chris Savino, based on his own childhood growing up in a large family, with animation largely influenced by newspaper comic strips, the original animated series has been broadcast for seven seasons since May 2, 2016, along with a renewal for a eighth season, with a spin-off series The Casagrandes, airing from October 14, 2019 to September 30, 2022, and the live-action television series The Really Loud House, which premiered November 3, 2022. The franchise expanded to film with The Loud House Movie on August 20, 2021, followed by A Loud House Christmas on November 26, 2021, A Really Haunted Loud House on September 28, 2023, The Casagrandes Movie on March 22, 2024, and No Time to Spy on June 21, 2024.
The franchise primarily focuses on Lincoln Loud, the only boy and the middle child in a family of eleven children (with ten sisters of distinctive personalities) residing in the fictional town of Royal Woods, Michigan, who occasionally breaks the fourth wall to explain to the viewers the chaotic conditions and sibling relationships of the household, and continually devises plans to make his life in the Loud House better. Since its debut, the franchise has gained high ratings, with the original series becoming the top-rated children's animated series on American television within its first month on the air,[1] further receiving considerable media attention and nominations at both the 28th and the 29th GLAAD Media Awards for its inclusion of Howard and Harold McBride, two supporting characters who are an interracial gay married couple.[2] In May 2017, the characters of Lincoln Loud and Clyde McBride were featured on the front cover of Variety as an example of diverse characters in children's television.[3]
