The Almighty Johnsons
The Almighty Johnsons is a New Zealand fantasy comedy/drama television series, which was created by James Griffin and Rachel Lang and was produced by South Pacific Pictures and aired from 7 February 2011 to 23 September 2013.
Funding for the first series was approved by NZ On Air in December 2009, a second series was approved in June 2011 and a third series was approved on 15 October 2012.
In December 2012, it was announced series three was in pre-production. Series 3 was the culmination of the search for Frigg.
Series two began filming in October 2011 and concluded in February 2012.
Series three began filming on 14 January 2013 and concluded on 9 May 2013.
On 6 September 2012, various members of the cast reported via Twitter that the show would not be renewed for a third season. This was confirmed by co-creator, James Griffin. Fan protests were launched immediately both in New Zealand and internationally, taking the form of an online petition, written complaints to TV3, and a 'send a twig to TV3' campaign (representing Yggdrasil, the mythical 'tree of life' from the show).
The show's cancellation was announced in December 2013 via radio announcement on Radio New Zealand by TV3 programming boss Mark Caulton.
The show follows a student named Axl Johnson, who on his 21st birthday discovers he and his family members are reincarnated Norse gods, whose powers are somewhat muted in their human form. It is up to Axl, who is the reincarnation of Odin, to restore their full powers and ensure the family's survival by finding the reincarnation of Odin's wife, Frigg. Matters are complicated by the presence of three Norse goddesses who are trying to find Frigg before the Johnsons do to prevent the restoration of the gods' full powers (which would vault them above the goddesses), as well as an antagonistic reincarnation of Norse god Loki, and the appearance of a Māori deity pantheon toward the end of the second series.
