As Bible-believing Christians see their First Amendment right to religious liberty under attack in an increasingly secular America, GOD’S NOT DEAD 2 (GND2) arrives in theaters on Friday, April 1, 2016—shining the spotlight on the hot topic of freedom of religion in schools. Produced by Pure Flix Entertainment in association with 10 West Studios, GND2 is directed by Harold Cronk (GOD’S NOT DEAD) and written by the team of Chuck Konzelman and Cary Solomon (DO YOU BELIEVE?). It features many of the cast in the original 2014 hit GOD’S NOT DEAD, including David A.R. White as Reverend Dave, Benjamin Onyango as Reverend Jude, Paul Kwo as international student Martin Yip, and Trisha LaFache as cancer-survivor journalist Amy Ryan.

Beyond these familiar faces, GND2 introduces a host of new cast members, including Melissa Joan Hart (“Sabrina, the Teenage Witch”) as embattled teacher Grace Wesley, Jesse Metcalfe (“Desperate Housewives”) as her attorney Tom Endler, Ray Wise (“Twin Peaks”) as ACLU lawyer Pete Kane, Robin Givens (“Head of the Class”) as Principal McKinney, Hayley Orrantia (“The Goldbergs”) as student Brooke Thawley, Sadie Robertson (“Duck Dynasty”) as best friend Marlene, singer Pat Boone as Grace’s grandfather Walter, and the late Sen. Fred Thompson (“Law and Order”) as a senior church pastor. In addition, music by Christian pop band, the Newsboys, is featured.

Picking up where GOD’S NOT DEAD left off, GND2 shifts scene from the university setting to a public high school where a worldview clash is sparked when Grace answers a student question about Jesus in the context of a lesson on Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Jr., and peaceful, non-violent resistance. As the drama unfolds, the characters are challenged to decide whether they will stand for their faith in the face of persecution.
