The Loud House follows a group of 11 siblings and their parents as they embark on several escapades that leads to self discovery and often moral values. It currently ranks as the second most popular show on Nickelodeon joining SpongeBob SquarePants.
Currently in its fifth season with a sixth season currently in production. The show debuted in Africa by 2013 and caused quite a stir between 2015-2017 from several African markets primarily Nigeria and Kenya which led to the exemption of the show not only in these regions but across Africa.
It wasn't long until The Loud House made its miraculous return alongside several other crammed shows which were victims to these laws such as Bubble Guppies and Legend Of Korra. Of course, this was only applicable to consumers in South Africa as there's no law prohibiting same sex relationships.
Nicktoons wasn't able to get the show until at least 2021 basically 8 years. Of course, when it did manage to launch the channel underwent several changes most of which weren't permanent and now the brand seems to be on autopilot with the series removed from the lineup.
The exemption from Nicktoons could come with two reasons first had to do with those anti-gay laws and second has to be the progression as Paramount opts to zombify the channel's offering and doesn't even bother to update its program guide.
As of this moment, The Loud House can be viewed on Nickelodeon while consumers in the Rest Of Africa aren't missing out on much that isn't the case with South African consumers as Nicktoons exchanged roles with the brand by being more accessible.
