The series is centered on an interfaith team of superheroes, comprising four heroes from Muslim, Christian, Jewish, and Hindu backgrounds.

The series consists of an international production team, including executive producer Ronen Shani, producer Gilad Piker, director Ehud Landsberg, marketing officer Jon Sumroy and five-time Emmy and Grammy Award winning writer Rob Kutner. The series is supported by an interfaith committee comprising experts from the four different religious backgrounds.

On 9 August 2023, the completion of the pilot episode, "Love Is in the Air Hole", was announced. 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, and made possible through private investment.

Characters
Th titular Gang cast consists of a Muslim (SumoSlim), a Christian (ChrisCross), a Jew (NinJew), and a Hindu (TaekwonHindu). They are martial arts heroes, empowered by 'The Almighty' and through the power of peace, kindness, and unity are on a mission to bring down the world's villains.

Premise
The narrative of the pilot episode "Love Is in the Air Hole", unfolds with the four characters enjoying a leisurely day at an amusement park, disrupted when mad scientists attempt to abscond with carousel horses and the children aboard.

The story takes a turn as an urgent search and rescue mission unfolds, leading the characters into a deep-sea expedition to uncover mysteries surrounding endangered blue whales. Antagonistic reptilians have manipulated the whales into an underwater party, trapping them in the process. The whales' aroma is extracted through their airholes to perfume the reptilians' stinky alien planet.

Each God’s Gang character deploys their unique superpowers 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.

Reception
The online pilot episode attracted over 3 million viewers within three months of its release and 250,000 subscribers across social media platforms by December 2023.
