"Duck Dynasty" star Sadie Robertson will be starring in the film "God's Not Dead 2: He's Surely Alive," which is the sequel of the highly successful 2014 film entitled "God's Not Dead."
The movie, which opens on Easter 2016, will feature an impressive cast including Melissa Joan Hart ("Sabrina the Teenage Witch"), Jesse Metcalf ("Desperate Housewives"), Fred Thompson ("Law & Order") and Hayley Orrantia ("The Goldbergs").
Producer David A. R. White, who helped produce both "God's Not Dead" and "God's Not Dead 2," will be reprising his role as Reverend Dave in the sequel.
As for Sadie, she will be following the footsteps of her parents Willie and Korie, who appeared in the original "God's Not Dead" film.
"'God's Not Dead 2' will have audiences standing unashamedly and firmly in their faith during a time when it seems increasingly unfavourable and divisive to do so in the public square," the movie's press release reads. "In a story that could easily be pulled from today's headlines, it's good to remember some things will always remain the same: 'God IS Surely Alive!'"
The first movie shared the story of a Christian student who challenged his atheist teacher to examine his lack of faith. For the sequel, the focus will be on a teacher named Grace Wesley (Hart), who faces insurmountable odds when she tries to share her faith in the classroom.
"With the principal and superintendent teaming up with a zealous civil liberties group represented by an attorney with no love lost for God, Grace faces an epic court case with the help of sympathetic and charismatic defence lawyer, that could cost her the career she had always dreamed of—and expel God from the classroom once and for all," the film synopsis reads.
