The Loud House follows 11-year-old Lincoln, the only boy in a family with 10 sisters who each have unique personalities: Lori, Leni, Luna, Luan, Lynn, Lucy, Lola, Lana, Lisa, and Lily. With his best bud Clyde, Lincoln always comes up with a plan to stay one step ahead of the chaos, but whether or not it works is where the adventures begin.
In the premiere episode "Left in the Dark," Lincoln wants to watch the finale of his favorite show, but in order to do that, he must beat each sister to the couch first. Then, in "Get the Message," after Lincoln leaves a scathing voicemail on sister Lori’s phone, he realizes he has to erase it before she hears it.
The Loud House is produced by Nickelodeon Animation Studios in Burbank, Calif.
