God's Not Dead 2 Debuts First Official Trailer

God's Not Dead 2, the follow-up to the most successful independent faith film of 2014, will hit theaters April 1, 2016, with another story about Christians bravely standing up for their rights in a culture increasingly trying to take them away.

The film once again takes place in the hometown of Hadleigh University, but the action shifts from a college campus to a courtroom, where a Christian teacher (Melissa Joan Hart) is dragged before a judge for answering a student’s question about the similarities of Jesus’ teachings to those of Martin Luther King and Mahatma Gandhi. Much more than her career is on the line as a civil-liberties group with an anti-God agenda looks to make an example of her that will remove God from the public square for good.

The ensemble cast includes Hart (Melissa & Joey), Jesse Metcalfe (Dallas), David A. R. White (God’s Not Dead), Hayley Orrantia (The Goldbergs), Ernie Hudson (Ghostbusters), Sadie Robertson (Duck Dynasty), Robin Givens (Head of The Class), Maria Canals-Barrera (Cristela) and the late Fred Thompson (Law & Order) in one of his final film appearances, with Pat Boone and Ray Wise (Robocop).
