What is it about?
Chloe Thunderman (Maya Le Clark) discovers she has brand new abilities – but they sure don’t come with an instruction manual! The Hero League, an organization that manages superheroes, demands that her family send her to a superhero boarding school so that she can learn to control them. This decision, however, means that Chloe would be separated for years from her parents, Hank (Chris Tallman) and Barb (Rosa Blasi), and her siblings, Phoebe (Kira Kosarin), Max (Jack Griffo), Nora (Addison Riecke), and Billy (Diego Velazquez).
This causes a rift in the family: Hank, Max, and Nora think that Chloe should go for her own safety, while Barb, Phoebe, and Billy are ready to defy the Hero League to keep her at home. Instead of teaming up against a supervillain, the Thundermans are divided. Will differing opinions over what’s best for Chloe break the super family apart?
