NEW YORK--Oct. 12, 2016-- The Columbus Day special one-hour episode of Nickelodeon's hit The Thundermans was the top-rated kids' show of the day, reaching a season high and besting competitive programming by triple digits in the 7-8 p.m. (ET/PT) time period.

In the hour-long special, "Thundermans: Secret Revealed," the Villain League is determined to halt Phoebe's superhero ascension and destroy the Thundermans altogether.

Season four of The Thundermans will debut Saturday, Oct. 22, at 8 p.m. (ET/PT) with a special Halloween-themed episode, “Happy Heroween.”

The Thundermans follows a pair of superhero twins, Phoebe (Kira Kosarin) and Max Thunderman (Jack Griffo), with opposite personalities, who must navigate their way through school, friends and a family of extraordinary superheroes, all while keeping their true identities a secret.
