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.
The show follows a student named Axl Johnson, who on his 21st birthday discovers he and his family members are reincarnated, Norse gods. The problem is, that they do not have full control of their powers and it is up to Axl (the reincarnation of Odin) to restore them 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’ powers (which would vault them above the goddesses), as well as an antagonistic reincarnation of the Norse god Loki, and the appearance of a Māori deity pantheon toward the end of the second series.
