"God’s Gang"
Hit animated series "God’s Gang" has released the first episode in its new mini-series titled "We Didn’t Start the Fire" to its 2+ million YouTube and social media subscribers. The three following episodes in the mini-series will land every two weeks on the channel and across God’s Gang’s socials.
In "We Didn’t Start the Fire", audiences find SumoSlim, TaeKwonHindu, NinJew, and ChrisCross, the four interfaith heroes, deep in a forest – and something is about to go terribly wrong. With a wildfire spreading rapidly and their usual tools and technology failing, God’s Gang must rely on their instincts, teamwork, and the unexpected help of a mysterious new ally to navigate the danger.
Woven into the story is God’s Gang’s signature mix of action and humour alongside deeper themes of faith, resilience, compassion and teamwork. Ultimately the message reinforced across the episodes is that challenges, whether personal or global, can be overcome through faith, trust, and cooperation.
Joining the God’s Gang cast is Atticus Baldwin ("The Wright Turn"), who comes via the company’s partnership with Autism in Entertainment. As an autistic actor Atticus is a strong advocate for neurodiverse representation in entertainment.
Cathy McAuley, a veteran actor ("Quantum Leap") and Head of Spectrum Laboratory’s Voiceover Department, also joins the cast, further cementing God’s Gang’s reputation as a leader in authentic neurodiverse representation. Tyler Berman, an autistic professional actor and voiceover artist, is the new voiceover artist for the God’s Gang trailer.
Nimrod Avraham May, creator of the series, says, “We need to believe in love. And through 'God’s Gang' we are spreading this message of compassion and tolerance. The new episodes are the result of so much passion for this cause from an exceptional cast of acting and production talent. There’s more to come from 'God’s Gang' as we look to expand beyond the digital home and spread the message through new and exciting mediums.”
