The Almighty Johnsons is a New Zealand fantasy comedy-drama television series, which was created by James Griffin and Rachel Lang and is produced by South Pacific Pictures.
It began airing its first series of ten episodes[1] in New Zealand on 7 February 2011.
[4][5] The show follows a student named Axl Johnson, who on his 21st birthday discovers his family members are reincarnated Norse gods.
Matters are complicated by the presence of several antagonistic or amorously interested Norse deities, given that the Johnsons are not the only such demigods living in exile in New Zealand.
At the close of the second series, it is revealed that they are not the only pantheon resident there either, as Māori deities have also reincarnated, albeit in similarly restricted circumstances.
