The Loud House is an American animated television series created by Chris Savino for Nickelodeon and premiered on May 2, 2016.
Plot
Set in the fictional city of Royal Woods, Michigan, The Loud House centers on 11-year-old Lincoln Loud, who lives in a house with his ten sisters - bossy eldest sister Lori, unintelligent Leni, aspiring rock star Luna, jokester and comedian Luan, energetic athlete Lynn, gloomy emo Lucy, personality-opposite twins Lola and Lana, intellectual genius Lisa, and baby Lily. His room is a closet, his family has one bathroom, and his sisters drive him crazy. As Lincoln talks to the viewer about his life, he goes on adventures, does attempts, and even fight with his sisters, but with the help of his best friend Clyde, he avoids everything his sisters throw at him.
Production
The series was created by veteran animator Chris Savino. The show was inspired by Savino's childhood, where he lives with his many sisters, just like Lincoln. During early development, Savino originally wrote the characters as rabbits, before he made them to modern humans. The Loud family originally consisted of 22 sisters, but Savino notices that it was too much sisters. There, he shortened them to ten.[1]
The pilot episode was originally produced as part of Nickelodeon's 2013 Animated Shorts Program, and was later re-released with a new title, "Bathroom Break!!", on Nick.com in 2016.
The first season originally consisted of 13 episodes (26 segments in total), but Nickelodeon changed it to 26 (52 segments in total).[1]
Two episodes ("A Tale of Two Tables"/"The Sweet Spot" and "Hand-Me-Downer"/"Sleuth or Consequences") were released digitally on Nick.com, the Nick app, Nick's video-on-demand service and digital platforms in April 2016, a month before the series' official debut on May 2.
Brand-new episodes would air every week at 5:00 pm EST, before a brand-new episode of another show.
It was announced that the show's second season was greenlit on May 25, 2016.
