The producers of animated series God’s Gang have announced the premier date for We Didn’t Start the Fire — four brand-new episodes of the new miniseries from the franchise. Ahead of the launch on Wednesday, February 19, a trailer has been released, which you can watch below.
Landing on YouTube and social media platforms, the new episodes of We Didn’t Start the Fire run between 5-7 minutes to fit across social media platforms. The trailer teases a new plotline that explores the importance of protecting nature, mindfulness and spirituality.
In We Didn’t Start the Fire, we 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 is 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 that challenges, whether personal or global, can be overcome through faith, trust, and cooperation.
The launch of the new episodes comes following the recent news that God’s Gang has cast Atticus Baldwin (The Wright Turn, House of Masks) via its partnership with Autism in Entertainment. As an autistic actor, Baldwin is an advocate for neurodiverse representation in entertainment. Baldwin’s involvement is part of God’s Gang’s partnership with Spectrum Laboratory (Spec Labs), an organization dedicated to training and supporting neurodiverse artists in entertainment. This initiative underscores the series’ broader commitment to fostering real industry change.
Cathy McAuley, a veteran actor (Quantum Leap, Marsupilami) and Head of Spectrum Laboratory’s Voiceover Department, also joins the cast. Tyler Berman, an autistic professional actor and voiceover artist, is the new voiceover artist for the God’s Gang trailer.
The series springs from creator Nimrod Avraham May, Emmy and Grammy award-winning head writer Rob Kutner and series director Ehud Lansberg, who is known for his work on Transformers. The team also worked with an inter-faith advisory board to ensure the most authentic representation of the religions on-screen.
“We need to believe in love. And through God’s Gang, we are spreading this message of compassion and tolerance,” said May. “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.”
