This captivating drama will be available in over 240 countries and territories worldwide, promising an immersive experience for viewers across the globe.
At its core, "House of David" dramatizes the rise of the biblical figure David, who becomes the most celebrated king of Israel. The series portrays the decline of King Saul, who succumbs to his own pride, weaving a powerful narrative of ambition, faith, and rivalry within the biblical context.
The main cast is a stellar ensemble, led by Michael Iskander as David. After an extensive four-month international search, Iskander, known for his role in the Tony Award-winning musical *Kimberly Akimbo*, has been chosen to bring the iconic figure to life. Ali Suliman plays the troubled King Saul, while Ayelet Zurer portrays Queen Ahinoam, Saul’s trusted wife. Stephen Lang appears as Samuel, the prophet who anoints David as the next king, and Martyn Ford takes on the formidable role of Goliath.
The series follows the journey of David, a humble shepherd overshadowed by his older brothers, as he discovers and fulfills his destiny. Along the way, he navigates love, loss, and violence in the court of the man he's destined to replace. The central event in "House of David" is the war with the Philistines and the fight with their champion, Goliath.
"Can a stone change the course of history?" asks the voiceover in the series' trailer, hinting at the transformative events that unfold in this biblical epic.
In addition to the first season, Season Two of "House of David" is scheduled for release in Fall 2025. This season will be available exclusively on a new subscription service called Wonder Project, available via Prime Video in the U.S. However, it is noted that Season Two will not be included under the standard Prime Video subscription, requiring an extra paywall.
"House of David" has already garnered significant popularity, captivating over 40 million viewers worldwide and ranking as one of the top new series debuts in the U.S. on Prime Video. This series promises to be a must-watch for biblical drama enthusiasts and general audiences alike.
The series is the creation of Jon Erwin and Jon Gunn and boasts the involvement of Dallas Jenkins, a special consultant to Wonder Project. For those eagerly awaiting the next instalment of the popular series "The Chosen," it is important to note that "House of David" is not part of that franchise.
