Background and development
May described creating God's Gang to bridge cultural and religious differences.[3][4][5]
The series consists of an international production team,[6] including executive producer Ronen Shani, producer Gilad Piker, director Ehud Landsberg, marketing officer Jon Sumroy[7] and five-time Emmy and Grammy Award winning writer Rob Kutner.[8] The series is supported by an interfaith committee comprising experts from the four different religious backgrounds.[4]
On August 9, 2023, the completion of the pilot episode, "Love Is in the Air Hole", was announced.[4] The production of the show's official trailer and pilot episode "Love Is in the Air Hole" was overseen by Singapore-based media company, Infinite Frameworks,[9] and made possible through private investment.
The 2nd episode titled "What's Cooking" was released on July 17, 2024.
On December 3, 2024, the show's YouTube channel announced they begun voice recordings for the 3rd episode. The episode, originally titled "We Didn’t Start The Fire: Wildfire & The Mysterious Hero" was released on February 19, 2025.
Characters
The titular Gang cast consists of a Muslim (SuMuslim), a Christian (Chris Cross), a Jew (NinJew), a Hindu (TaekwonHindu),[1] and in later episodes, a Buddhist (KungFuda).[10] They are martial arts heroes empowered by 'The Almighty' to go on missions to bring down the world's villains.[3] Each character uses their unique abilities to thwart the villains and execute a rescue mission. Interwoven into the storyline are elements of humor, including jokes, one-liners and subtle messages promoting themes of interfaith harmony, friendship, cooperation, and acceptance. These themes align with the broader objective of fostering unity and empathy among the show’s audience.
