Curious Historian

Sickened and tired

Renowned actor Kirk Cameron has unveiled his latest initiative aimed at creating enriching and high-quality content for children, with the goal of offering an alternative to the prevalent woke narratives found in children's shows.
 

“Parents and grandparents are sickened and tired of their children being attacked by the woke wolves of Hollywood,” Cameron told Fox News in a statement. 
 

Children’s entertainment

“That’s why I’m continuing to work with Brave Books to dive further into the world of children’s entertainment.”
 

History of dedication

With a history of dedication to his cause, Cameron has been actively involved in combating worrisome trends such as "drag queen story time" and the proliferation of explicit content like "Genderqueer" in schools. 
 

Book readings

He has introduced book readings that focus on faith-based stories for children. At a gathering in Indianapolis, more than 2,500 people attended one of these sessions. 
 

Fresh partnership

Cameron has now revealed a fresh partnership with Brave Books for an original live-action children's TV show called "Adventures with Iggy and Mr. Kirk."
 

Area of culture

“It’s not just time to take back our libraries and literature. It’s time to take back every area of culture that these animals have devoured,” the actor told Fox News. “Good families are looking for entertainment they can trust – stories that teach children biblically based moral values.”
 

So supporting

“So supporting ‘Adventures with Iggy and Mr. Kirk’ is another step forward in creating the culture we want for our future generations,” he added.
 

The new series

The new series is expected to launch in August 2024.
 

Forced to settle

“As parents, we have been forced to settle for mindless entertainment or just downright harmful content," said Brave Books CEO Trent Talbot.
 

Engaged them

"It’s time we had a show for our children that not only sparked their imagination and engaged them, but also built their character and strengthened their worldview while doing so,” said Books added.
 

Veteran puppeteer

The show will star Cameron as “Mr. Kirk,” while veteran puppeteer John Kennedy will be handling “Iggy the Iguana.” Kennedy has more than two decades of experience with programs such as “Sesame Street” and “The Muppets,” the team noted in a press release.
 

Most important

“Adventures with Iggy and Mr. Kirk’ is the right show at the right time and will be the most important children’s television show since ‘Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood,'” Talbot said.
