Prime Video’s upcoming biblical TV series, “The House of David,” now has a trailer and release date.
“House of David” details the Old Testament story of “David, the eventual King of Israel, as he takes on Goliath and fulfills his destiny as God’s Chosen, anointed by Samuel the Prophet,” per a press release from Prime Video.
The series, which premieres on Prime Video on Thursday, Feb. 27, comes in partnership from Amazon MGM Studios and The Wonder Project.
The Wonder Project is a faith-based film studio created by Jon Erwin, director of “Jesus Revolution” and “The Jesus Music,” and former Netflix executive Kelly Merryman Hoogstraten.
Dallas Jenkins, creator and producer-director of “The Chosen,” is a special adviser to The Wonder Project.
“When we met with Jon, Kelly, and Dallas, their clear and passionate vision for The Wonder Project and their ambition to nurture universal stories of love, triumph, and spirituality moved us,” Vernon Sanders, head of television for Amazon MGM Studios, told Variety. “We are very excited about the scope, scale and storytelling involved with ‘House of David’ and look forward to sharing this epic and many others with our global Prime Video customers.”
“With House of David being the first project under this new deal, we’re setting the stage for a series of compelling, values-driven movies, and TV shows,” Erwin told Variety. “This is a milestone for The Wonder Project, and we’re thrilled to be working with a company that understands and supports our mission and our audience in such a groundbreaking way.”
What is ‘House of David’ about?
The upcoming series, “House of David,” retells the Old Testament story of David and King Saul.
The series will detail “the ascent of the biblical figure, David, who eventually becomes the most renowned and celebrated king of Israel,” according to a Prime Video press release.
“The series follows the once-mighty King Saul as he falls victim to his own pride. At the direction of God, the prophet Samuel anoints an unlikely, outcast teenager as the new king.”
“As Saul loses his power over his kingdom, David finds himself on a journey to discover and fulfill his destiny, navigating love, loss, and violence in the court of the very man he’s destined to replace. As one leader falls, another must rise.”
