Fostering the creatives of the future is absolutely essential and something we are passionate about across all our productions. This is a unique opportunity for Mary, Chase and Annie to experience working on a production the scope and standard of Taylor’s Island and to be guided by the best in the business.”

Produced by Fremantle for Nickelodeon and Network 10, Taylor‘s Island is a 20 x 22min series featuring a diverse main cast anchored by Australian leads, and follows the adventures of 14-year-old Taylor, a charismatic and energetic leader, and her tight-knit group of friends – Nori, Meesha and Ellis, and stepsister Lila – as they explore the mysteries of the island on which they live, fueled by Taylor’s fascination with her Uncle Charlie’s disappearance and determination to find out what happened to him.

Chris Rose, VP Production & Development for Nickelodeon International is overseeing the show with Mick Elliott serving as the Executive in Charge of Production for Nickelodeon International in Australia.

'The Loud House Movie' Director Reveals Film is Canon With Series; Where It Fits In

Netflix is set to premiere The Loud House Movie, the brand new animated film based on Nickelodeon's hit animated series on Friday, August 20, and one thing fans have been wondering is whether the movie will be canon with the series, and if so, where about in the series does it take place.

In Nickelodeon’s much-anticipated The Loud House Movie, based on Nickelodeon's hit animated series The Loud House, the biggest family on television goes on the biggest Loud family vacation ever! The adventure follows the Loud family to Scotland where they discover that they are descendants of Scottish royalty. The family quickly indulges in the most wish-fulfilling high-life ever when they discover their ancestral home is a castle.

Director Dave Needham (head of story, Smallfoot) and writers Kevin Sullivan and Chris Viscardi planned this hilarious family trip, which features the voices of Asher Bishop, Michelle Gomez (Morag), David Tennant, Grey Griffin, Jill Talley, Brian Stepanek, Jessica DiCicco, Liliana Mumy, Cristina Pucelli, Nika Futterman, Lara Jill Miller, Andre Robinson, Cat Taber, Katy Townsend, Carlos PenaVega and Izabella Alvarez. Produced by Nickelodeon Animation Studios.

Replying to a fan on Instagram, Needham revealed that the crew of The Loud House Movie think that the film takes place during season 4 and season 5, so Lily will still have her younger design. In season 5, each of the characters were aged up by a year. So technically, the movie is canon with the series. Needham added that he isn't sure whether the Louds will refer back to their time in Scotland in the series, however.

Nickelodeon and Netflix first announced plans for The Loud House Movie as well as a animated movie inspired by Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in February 2019, as part of Nickelodeon and ViacomCBS' broader efforts to tap into Nickelodeon's intellectual properties (IP) to continue producing new content for digital and linear platforms. Nickelodeon and Netflix expanded on their pact to form a new, multi-year output deal to produce original animated feature films and television series - based both on the Nickelodeon library of characters as well as all-new IP - for kids and families around the world.

The Loud House debuted on Nickelodeon in May 2016 and centers on 11-year-old Lincoln Loud and his ten sisters as he gives an inside look at what it takes to survive the chaos of a huge family. As one of the longest-running animated series on Nickelodeon, the series currently ranks as the number-one animated show on Nickelodeon with Kids 6-11 year-to-date. The property also has been translated into a comic book series, which continues to roll out new stories, chapter books, a digital album and a podcast, Listen Out Loud. The series is executive produced by Michael Rubiner. Kyle Marshall serves as co-executive producer and Ashley Kliment-Baker is art director. Currently in its fifth season, The Loud House was recently renewed for a sixth season.

The voice cast of The Loud House includes: Asher Bishop as Lincoln Loud; Andre Robinson as Clyde McBride; Catherine Taber as Lori; Liliana Mumy as Leni; Nika Futterman as Luna; Cristina Pucelli as Luan; Jessica DiCicco as Lynn and Lucy; Grey Griffin as Lola, Lana and Lily; and Lara Jill Miller as Lisa.

The show has also been spun-off with the successful companion series, The Casagrandes, which tells the story of 11-year-old Ronnie Anne who moves to the city with her mom and older brother to live with their big, loving family, the Casagrandes.
