The Loud House is Nickelodeon's big-family cartoon. Created by Chris Savino and first aired on May 2, 2016, it follows Lincoln Loud, the middle child and only boy among 11 kids in the fictional town of Royal Woods, Michigan. Savino based the show on his own childhood in a big family, drew its look from newspaper comic strips, and gave Lincoln a habit of talking straight to the viewer. Within its first month it became the top-rated children's animated series on American TV.
This season guide walks through all ten seasons, with what changes in each and the episodes worth starting with. Every season links to its page on our Loud House show page.
Meet the Loud family
Lincoln has ten sisters, each with her own very clear personality:
- Lori, the bossy eldest
- Leni, the ditzy fashionista
- Luna, the musician
- Luan, the comedian (and April Fools' prankster)
- Lynn Jr., the athlete
- Lucy, the gloomy goth poet
- Lana and Lola, twins who are total opposites
- Lisa, the child genius
- Lily, the baby
Lincoln's partner in most of his schemes is his friend Clyde McBride. Clyde's dads, Howard and Harold, earned the show nominations at the 28th and 29th GLAAD Media Awards.

The Loud House Season 1 (2016)
Season 1 is the essential one, and our fan desk rates it 9.3. It opens with "Left in the Dark" and debuted with new episodes every weekday in May 2016. Most stories boil down to the chaos of 11 kids under one roof. Highlights:
- "Project Loud House": Lincoln has to get every sister out the door on time so he can get his school project there.
- "Sound of Silence": Lincoln buys noise-cancelling earbuds to drown out his sisters.
- "Two Boys and a Baby": Lincoln and Clyde assume babysitting Lily will be easy.
- "Homespun": the kids complain about their house until a tornado threatens it.
- "April Fools Rules": the family's yearly battle against Luan's pranks.
The Loud House Season 2 (2016–2017)
Season 2 goes bigger, with holiday episodes like the Christmas episode "11 Louds a Leapin'" and the Halloween episode "Tricked!", where Lincoln and Clyde hunt for full-size candy bars. In "Legends", Lincoln and his dad compete on Legends of the Hidden Temple. Behind the scenes, Nickelodeon fired Savino in October 2017 after sexual harassment allegations. Story editor Michael Rubiner later took over as showrunner, and the series carried on without its creator.
The Loud House Season 3 (2018–2019)
Season 3 expands the world beyond the house. Lori and Lincoln visit the city and find that Ronnie Anne has changed in "City Slickers". "White Hare" includes Lincoln's dream of the family as rabbits, a nod to Savino's original pitch about a rabbit with 25 sisters. Jennifer Coolidge guest stars as Pop Pop's new girlfriend in "Insta-Gran". The season also features a family road trip, "Tripped!", and "The Loudest Thanksgiving", where Lori and Bobby bring their families together.
The Loud House Season 4 (2019–2020)
Season 4 opens with a run of "with the Casagrandes" stories, starting with "Friended! with the Casagrandes", about Ronnie Anne's family in the city. Her family got their own spin-off, The Casagrandes, which aired from October 2019 to September 2022. Back in Royal Woods, the Louds get stranded on a desert island in "Washed Up", and Lincoln and Clyde dress the sisters up as the Full Deck for an Ace Savvy convention in "Kings of the Con".
The Loud House Season 5 (2020–2022): the age-up
Season 5 is the biggest change in the show's history. The Loud kids all age up a year: Lori goes to college, Lincoln starts middle school, and Lily starts preschool. The hour-long premiere, "Schooled!", follows Lincoln's rocky start in middle school and Lori's search for a place in her college dorm. In "The Boss Maybe", Leni, now the oldest at home, tries to fill Lori's shoes as babysitter. This season also includes the Christmas episode "A Flipmas Carol" and the family camping episode "Camped!". The Loud House Movie came out on Netflix in August 2021, during this season's run.
The Loud House Season 6 (2022–2023)
In Season 6, the premiere, "Don't Escor-go", has the friends trying to keep Clyde from going to cooking school in France. The kids go back in time to their parents' wedding in "Time Trap!", the town fights a plan to flood it in "Save Royal Woods!", and the Louds and Casagrandes team up for Halloween in "Great Lakes Freakout!". The live-action series The Really Loud House premiered in November 2022.
The Loud House Season 7 (2023–2024)
Season 7 includes a multi-part family "Road Trip" arc, starting with "Road Trip: Bizarritorium", and the Christmas episode "Twas the Fight Before Christmas", where Lincoln tries to end a years-long feud between his dad and Uncle Lance. Lisa wakes a frozen caveman in the premiere, "Waking History". The live-action film A Really Haunted Loud House premiered in September 2023, and The Casagrandes Movie arrived on Netflix in March 2024.

The short Season 8 runs 15 stories, including "Only Mime Will Tell", where Luan has to stay silent for a whole day to try out for the Varsity Mime Team. The animated film No Time to Spy: A Loud House Movie premiered in June 2024 on Paramount+ and Nickelodeon.
The Loud House Season 9 (2025–2026)
Season 9 opens with a "Europe Road Trip" arc. The Louds go to London for Mick Swagger's knighting ceremony in "A Knight to Remember", then visit Naples, the Swiss Alps, Transylvania and Greece. A "Summer Camp" arc at Camp Mastodon follows, starting with "Ticked Off". The movie A Loud House Christmas Movie: Naughty or Nice premiered in November 2025.
The Loud House Season 10 (2026)
Season 10 premiered on February 27, 2026, with "Living the Dream Boat", and new episodes returned in September. Recent stories include "Shane or Shine", "My Science Fair Lady" and "Con Girl". The latest listed episode, "Writer's Retreat", aired on October 28, 2026.
Where to start with The Loud House
Start with Season 1. It's the purest version of the show, and almost every story stands on its own. If you prefer the older Louds, jump to Season 5's "Schooled!" and go from there. For more big animated families, try The Casagrandes, The Simpsons and Bob's Burgers.
