Luna was named after a pet dachshund Chris Savino's mother-in-law owned.[6] Early in development, Luna alongside her family was going to be depicted as a humanoid rabbits, but this was terminated when an executive, Jenna Boyd suggested Savino to make him human.[7] Luna was voiced by Nika Futterman in most of her appearances and portrayed by Sophia Woodward in A Loud House Christmas and The Really Loud House.[8][9][10]

Reception edit

EW writer Nick Romano interview with Michael Rubiner, the showrunner of the series who he plans to continue the arc of Luna but he doesn’t have any end point in mind for the two of them but "with 10 girls in the family", he felt natural "to explore one of them being LGBTQ."[11] As of the episode "Racing Hearts", Luna and Sam are officially dating.[12]

Kevin Sullivan, the writer of the series told Insider that he wasn't barred from using the word "lesbian" in dialogue when writing the storyline for Luna and her crush Sam and said that "we just can't say those words because of how young our audience can skew but the joy of the episode, that I was proud of was that it wasn't an coming out episode. The entire family accepted her, there was no having to come out."[13]
