Kirk Cameron’s latest project is a children’s television show created in partnership with Brave Books, which aims to be the antithesis of modern television programming made for children.
The show, titled Adventures With Iggy and Mr. Kirk, portrays Cameron as a retired pilot helping his friend, a puppet iguana named Iggy, learn various life lessons. The first two episodes focus on forgiveness and identity. Cameron said that, as a man from Hollywood, the modern entertainment industry makes people believe parents want “woke” shows for their children, which he argued is not the case.
“The reality is, parents don’t want gay dinosaurs and trans-ducks teaching their children morality,” Cameron said in a press release. “They want high-quality entertainment and wholesome family values taught to their children from people they trust. That’s why I’m thrilled about Adventures With Iggy and Mr. Kirk — finally, a show that delivers on the uplifting, meaningful content families have been waiting for.
Brave Books founder Trent Talbot, who is also the new show’s executive producer, similarly spoke about the need for the show, as “more people are on screens” in the modern age, and that Brave Books, a Christian book publisher, aims to use the show “to reach people where they are.”
“With our first TV show, Adventures With Iggy and Mr. Kirk, Brave Books is answering a call from our Brave families who want fun, meaningful content that the kids will love and be strengthened by watching it,” Talbot said.

The crowdfunded show has already produced the first four episodes, with donations still being accepted for the show’s remaining six episodes, according to Brave Books’s website. The first season will be released for free on YouTube, after which all future seasons will be on Brave Books’s streaming service.
It’s not Cameron’s first time collaborating with Brave Books. The two worked together earlier this year for “See You At The Library Day,” during which Cameron traveled to three different libraries in the Washington, D.C., area.
