Kirk Cameron aims to reinvent kids’ TV with biblical values, debuts ‘Adventures with Iggy and Mr. Kirk’

November 29, 2024

Actor Kirk Cameron and Brave Books are teaming up to launch a new children’s television show that aims to become a source of Bible-based, family friendly adventures combined with moral lessons.

The Christian Post reports that Cameron hopes to fill a void in children’s programming with the new series “Adventures with Iggy and Mr. Kirk.” The series will begin streaming for free in early 2025 on Brave Books’ YouTube Channel.

Cameron told the Christian Post, “With this show, we’re hoping to get to the hearts of children and get to the heart of biblical and moral lessons that parents really want their kids to learn.”

The 54 year old actor added, “We want to be one of the tools in their toolbox to help reinforce the lessons that they’re already teaching them at home, lessons about forgiveness, about the value of all life, pre-born life, disabled life and elderly life. We want to teach kids about courage, about the importance of family and teamwork and facing your fears.”

The series will follow the adventures of Iggy, an iguana, and his mentor Mr. Kirk as they teach children biblical values through engaging, faith-based storytelling.

The show’s production team features veteran performers from “Veggie Tales” and “The Muppets” as well as former Disney star Leigh Allyn-Baker who has expressed concerns over the “visually and morally overwhelming” nature of children’s television programming.

Cameron said, “The lessons are like Mr. Rogers’s level, but caring for the souls of children. And I can’t wait for people to see it.”
