Firebuds is set to premiere on Disney Junior and Disney+ next year.

The series follows a team of young kids who are the children of first responders, and their talking vehicle sidekicks, as they embark on adventures together and learn what it truly means to be a hero.

This will be Chris‘ first show under his Disney Branded Television overall development deal with his new production banner, Electric Emu.

“Firebuds is about the spirit of community service and thinking about others before yourself,” he said in a statement. “Just like our young heroes are trying to follow in their parents’ ‘tire treads,’ we are hoping to inspire children to embrace volunteerism and helping others. It is personally a very meaningful show for me and the perfect way to launch this next chapter of my career with Disney.”

The cast includes Declan Whaley (Criminal Minds), Terrence Little Gardenhigh (Danger Force), Vivian Vencer (Rapunzel’s Tangled Adventure), Lily Sanfelippo (Marvel’s Spidey and his Amazing Friends), JeCobi Swain (Home Economics) and Caleb Paddock (Adult Beginners).
