Kirk Cameron has launched a new children’s show called Iggy and Mr. Kirk to push back against what he calls “woke” programming from mainstream networks. The show streams on Brave+, a family-friendly platform offering faith-based content. Cameron says it’s a modern answer to classics like Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood but with clear biblical values.
The show follows Mr. Kirk, a retired pilot, and his iguana sidekick Iggy as they tackle topics like identity, forgiveness, and courage. In one episode, Iggy resists lies from a sneaky vulture named “Culture” who tries to trick him into questioning his God-given identity. Cameron says this reflects real battles kids face today, like school lessons pushing gender confusion.
Cameron blasted Disney and Nickelodeon for abandoning traditional values, arguing they’ve become “harmful” to children. He told Glenn Beck this show teaches kids to cherish life, respect parents, and embrace truth. Each episode ties to Cameron’s Freedom Island book series, blending puppetry, songs, and animated stories.
The first three episodes are free, including Injured Bird, where Iggy learns to care for a hurt animal instead of selfishly chasing fun. Cameron says these lessons counter today’s “me-first” culture. Brave+ also streams older shows like Bob the Builder and Paddington Bear, offering parents a guilt-free alternative to “toxic” mainstream options.
Over 3,000 families attended the show’s premiere, with many praising its focus on faith. A mother from California said it’s “the first time I’ve felt safe letting my kids watch TV alone.” Cameron credits grassroots supporters who donated $1.25 million to fund the project after libraries initially blocked his story hours.
The show’s creators include puppeteers from Jim Henson’s team and VeggieTales composers. Season two is already finished, with plans for more. Cameron hopes it sparks a revival of traditional values, saying, “Parents are tired of fighting the culture war alone—this gives them backup.”
Brave+ costs $6.99 monthly, but Cameron stresses it’s “worth every penny to protect kids’ innocence.” He’s also a grandfather now and claims this project is his most important yet. “We’re not just entertaining kids,” he said. “We’re giving them armor for the spiritual battles ahead.”
Conservatives see Iggy and Mr. Kirk as a turning point in reclaiming kids’ entertainment from liberal agendas. With schools and media pushing radical ideologies, Cameron’s show offers a safe harbor. As one dad put it, “Finally, someone’s standing up for our kids instead of confusing them.”
