Nickelodeon has ordered an additional six episodes of The Thundermans TV show. They’re not calling it a season five renewal. Instead, the announcement from Nick highlights that the order will bring the live-action sitcom past the 100-episode landmark, so we’re wondering if the series will end once all 103 episodes have aired.

The Thundermans centers on superhero siblings, Phoebe (Kira Kosarin) and Max Thunderman (Jack Griffo), who have secret identities. The Nickelodeon cast also includes Addison Riecke, Diego Velasquez, Chris Tallman, Rosa Blasi, and May Le Clark.

Wooten (American Housewife) as “Warwick,” Lexi DiBenedetto (Modern Family) as “Prudence,” Lilimar (Bella and the Bulldogs) as “Sage” and Kelly Perine (Santa Hunters) as “Sir Gareth.” The new series is slated to begin production this fall in Los Angeles.
