The animated series “God’s Gang” has announced the premier date for “We Didn’t Start the Fire,” the four brand-new episodes of the new miniseries from the franchise.
Landing on YouTube and social media platforms on Wednesday, February 19th, the new episodes will 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,” viewers 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, the team has to 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 mix of action and humor 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.
NEURODIVERSE REPRESENTATION
The launch of the new episodes follows the recent news that actor Atticus Baldwin (“The Wright Turn,” “House of Masks”) has been cast via its partnership with Autism in Entertainment.
As an autistic actor, Baldwin is an advocate for neurodiverse representation in entertainment. His involvement is part of the show’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, further cementing “God’s Gang’s” reputation as a leader in authentic neurodiverse representation.
Tyler Berman, an autistic professional actor, is the new voiceover artist for the “God’s Gang” trailer.
