The Loud House series - based on the Emmy Award-winning animated show - centres on Lincoln Loud, an 11-year-old boy with 10 sisters, as he navigates everyday life with such a large family. Dubbed the 'Man with a Plan, Lincoln enlists the help of his best friend Clyde McBride to tackle the obstacles and mayhem that they encounter during their daily adventures.
