The Loud House is an American animated television series created by animator and comic illustrator Chris Savino for Nickelodeon. The series revolves around the chaotic everyday life of a boy named Lincoln Loud, who is the middle child and only son in a large family of eleven children. It is set in a fictional town in Michigan called Royal Woods which is based on Chris Savino's hometown of Royal Oak.
The series was pitched to the network in 2013 as a two-minute short film entered in the annual Animated Shorts Program. It was greenlighted for production the following year. Episodes are produced at Nickelodeon Animation Studio in Burbank, California and animated by the Canadian studio Jam Filled Toronto. The series is based on Savino's own childhood growing up in a large family, and its animation is largely influenced by newspaper comic strips.
Nickelodeon first released two preview episodes of The Loud House to its website in April 2016. The show officially premiered on May 2, 2016. Two seasons have since been broadcast, and a third is currently in development. Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon Movies announced in March 2017 that the program will be adapted into a theatrical feature film, with a planned release date of February 7, 2020.
The Loud House has gained high ratings since its debut, becoming the number-one children's animated series on American television within its first month on the air. The show received widespread attention and a nomination at the 28th GLAAD Media Awards for its introduction of Howard and Harold McBride, two supporting characters who are a same-sex couple. In May 2017, the show's main characters were featured on the front cover of Variety as an example of cultural and ethnic diversity impacting television programs.
