The Loud House is an American animated television series created by Chris Savino for Nickelodeon.^[2] The show follows the adventures of a boy who gives tips on how to survive living with ten sisters.

The show premiered on May 2, 2016.^[3]

Plot

The series focuses on Lincoln Loud, an 11-year-old^[4] boy who lives with ten sisters—eldest sister Lori, unintelligent yet beautiful blonde Leni, aspiring rock star Luna, jokester and comedian Luan, energetic athlete Lynn, gloomy emo^[5] Lucy, personality-opposite twins Lola and Lana, intellectual genius Lisa, and baby Lily. With the help of his best friend Clyde, Lincoln tries to survive as the only son in the family by finding creative solutions to the household's ordinary and chaotic problems.

• Lincoln Loud (voiced by Grant Palmer)^[6] — At 11 years old, Lincoln is the only son and middle child of the Loud children; he is an avid reader of comic books, and frequently speaks to the viewer on how he gets around the often chaotic conditions of the household by finding creative solutions to his problems.
• Lori Loud (voiced by Catherine Taber)^[7] — At 17 years old, she is the eldest of the Loud children (a fact she takes pride in); Lori is depicted as bossy, sarcastic and condescending towards Lincoln. Despite that, she does care about her brother and sisters.
• Leni Loud (voiced by Liliana Mumy)^[8] — At 16 years old, she is the second oldest of the Loud children; Leni is depicted as a dumb blonde who is kind and pretty, but is naïve and lacks intelligence and awareness. She shows talents in fashion designing.
• Luna Loud (voiced by Nika Futterman)^[6] — At 15 years old, she is the third oldest child of the Loud family; Luna is a free-spirited musician an interest in rock and roll music, and she owns and plays an electric guitar.
• Luan Loud (voiced by Cristina Pucelli)^[6] — At 14 years old, she is fourth oldest of the Loud children; Luan is fond of practical jokes and comedy. She wears braces, has squirt-flowers on her shirt and shoes, and owns a ventriloquist dummy named Mr. Coconuts.
• Lynn Loud (voiced by Jessica DiCicco)^[6] — At 13 years old, she is the fifth oldest of the Loud children; Lynn is very energetic and competitive, and often engages in sports and other physical activities.
• Lucy Loud (voiced by Jessica DiCicco)^[6] — At 8 years old, she's the seventh youngest of the Loud children; Lucy is a cynical, deadpan and sarcastic emo girl, who dresses in black and has an interest in poetry and gothic fiction. She has very pale skin and long black hair that conceals her eyes. Lucy also has an uncanny ability to suddenly appear in places, which often frightens her siblings.
• Lola Loud (voiced by Grey Griffin)^[6] — At 6 years old, she and Lana are identical twin sisters. Lola is a bratty girly-girl, who dresses in pink princess attire and acts as a tattletale for the family. She and Lana are missing their front teeth.
• Lana Loud (voiced by Grey Griffin)^[6] — At 6 years old, she is Lola's identical twin sister. Unlike her sister, she is a fun-loving tomboy who loves to get her hands dirty, which often annoys Lola. She is also a skilled mechanic and plumber.
• Lisa Loud (voiced by Lara Jill Miller)^[9] — At 4 years old, she is the eighth youngest of the Loud children; Lisa is a child prodigy, who has graduated college with a PhD and often engages in complex equations and experiments. She wears large glasses and speaks with a lateral lisp.

Production

The Loud House was created by Chris Savino for Nickelodeon. Savino based the series on his own experiences growing up in a large family.^[10] He pitched the idea to Nickelodeon in 2013 as a 2½-minute short for their annual Animated Shorts Program.^[11] In June 2014, Nickelodeon announced that The Loud House had been picked up for a season of 13 episodes, making it the second series to be born out of the shorts program after Breadwinners.^[12] The episode order was later increased to 26.^[13]

Early in development, the Loud family was going to be composed of rabbits, before Savino was advised to make them human.^[14][15]
