The series marks the first project to debut under the overall development deal between Disney Branded Television and Gerber.<\/p>\n<p>Gerber also has a second project in development with Kris Wimberly, who worked with him on <em>Elena of Avalor<\/em> and also serves as a director on <em>Firebuds<\/em>. Julius Aguimatang (<em>Mulan<\/em>) is a director as well. In addition to Gerber, Matt Hoverman (<em>Fancy Nancy<\/em>) is story editor, with Krystal Banzon (<em>I Feel Bad<\/em>), Leanna Dindal (<em>The Wonderful World of Mickey Mouse<\/em>), Jeremy Shipp (<em>Tangled: The Series<\/em>) and Norma Sepulveda (<em>Elena of Avalor<\/em>) making up the writing team.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em>Firebuds<\/em> is about the spirit of community service and thinking about others before yourself,&#8221; said Gerber. &#8220;Just like our young heroes are trying to follow in their parents&#8217; &#8216;tire treads,&#8217; 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.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Disney Junior has ordered the animated comedy-adventure series Firebuds from executive producer Craig Gerber (Elena of Avalor, Sofia the First).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1412,"featured_media":21812,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[1558,112],"class_list":["post-21811","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-craig-gerber","tag-disney-junior","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Disney Junior Greenlights New Craig Gerber Series - TVKIDS<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/disney-junior-greenlights-new-craig-gerber-series\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Disney Junior Greenlights New Craig Gerber Series - TVKIDS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Disney Junior has ordered the animated comedy-adventure series Firebuds from executive producer Craig Gerber (Elena of Avalor, Sofia the First).\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/disney-junior-greenlights-new-craig-gerber-series\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVKIDS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2021-10-29T13:00:39+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2021-10-29T22:13:13+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/07\/DisneyJunior-Firebuds-1021.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"388\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Jamie Stalcup\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Jamie Stalcup\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/disney-junior-greenlights-new-craig-gerber-series\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/disney-junior-greenlights-new-craig-gerber-series\/\",\"name\":\"Disney Junior Greenlights New Craig Gerber Series - TVKIDS\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2021-10-29T13:00:39+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2021-10-29T22:13:13+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#\/schema\/person\/0da12602224807cc7b179b8405018deb\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/disney-junior-greenlights-new-craig-gerber-series\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/disney-junior-greenlights-new-craig-gerber-series\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/disney-junior-greenlights-new-craig-gerber-series\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Disney Junior Greenlights New Craig Gerber Series\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/\",\"name\":\"TVKIDS\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#\/schema\/person\/0da12602224807cc7b179b8405018deb\",\"name\":\"Jamie Stalcup\",\"description\":\"Jamie Stalcup is the executive editor of World Screen.
