Prime Video Renews "House of David" for Second Season
Series has garnered 22 million viewers in the first 17 days
Season One premiered with three episodes February 27, 2025, on Prime Video
CULVER CITY, California - March 18, 2025 - Today, Prime Video announced that the biblical drama series House of David has been picked-up for a second season. Season One of House of David premiered February 27, 2025 on Prime Video with three episodes in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide. It garnered 22 million viewers in the first 17 days and is in the top 10 new series debuts in the US to date.
New episodes will be released weekly, leading up to the season finale on April 3. The series comes from visionary filmmakers and Wonder Project creative leaders Jon Erwin (Jesus Revolution, American Underdog) and Jon Gunn (Ordinary Angels), who are returning as directors, writers, and executive producers. Michael Iskander will reprise his role as David.
House of David tells the story of the ascent of the biblical figure, David, who eventually becomes the most renowned and celebrated king of Israel. 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.
Season Two will follow the aftermath of the battle between David and Goliath and David's rise to the throne. As he navigates palace politics, his family's jealousy, and a growing romance, David steps deeper into his destiny and learns what it means to become a great leader.
"Jon Erwin and Jon Gunn's compelling creative vision has solidified our belief in the series and we are excited to deliver more of the story to our customers," said Vernon Sanders, head of television, Amazon MGM Studios. "We look forward to a continued journey with Wonder Project as we further expand our slate to encompass faith-based series."
"We are humbled by the extraordinary reaction this show has earned from the faith audience worldwide. Thanks to them and our partners at Prime Video and Amazon MGM Studios, Wonder Project will bring more of the Bible and this epic saga to a global audience. Congratulations to our incredible cast and crew," said Jon Erwin and Jon Gunn.
