Amazon has announced the premiere date for its highly anticipated biblical drama series House of David, set to launch on Prime Video on February 27, 2025. The series, consisting of eight episodes, will debut with the first three episodes, followed by one new episode each week. It will be available in over 240 countries and territories worldwide.
The newly released trailer offers a glimpse into the life of David, portrayed by Michael Iskander in his breakout role, as he embarks on a journey that will lead him to confront Goliath (played by Martyn Ford) and rise to power as the future King of Israel. As the young shepherd is chosen by God and anointed by Prophet Samuel (Stephen Lang), House of David follows his dramatic rise amidst the fall of King Saul (Ali Suliman), Israel’s first monarch.
Brought to life by filmmakers Jon Erwin, known for Jesus Revolution and American Underdog, and Jon Gunn, known for Ordinary Angels, House of David is a powerful portrayal of David’s evolution from overlooked shepherd to the legendary king who shapes the future of Israel. The series delves into the unraveling of King Saul’s reign, driven by his pride and insecurities, leading to a fatal clash with the anointed successor, David.
At its core, the series explores themes of ambition, loyalty, and the moral complexities inherent in leadership. As David rises in power, Saul’s increasingly erratic behavior makes him view his successor as a threat, igniting a fierce rivalry that propels the narrative.
Alongside Iskander, the series features an impressive cast including Ayelet Zurer as Queen Ahinoam, Stephen Lang as Samuel, and Martyn Ford as Goliath. The ensemble also includes Ethan Kai, Ali Suliman, Sam Otto, and Oded Fehr, among others.
The project is executive produced by Jon Erwin, Jon Gunn, Jonathan Lloyd Walker, Justin Rosenblatt, Chad Oakes, and Michael Frislev, with Justin Rosenblatt overseeing production for Wonder Project. Dallas Jenkins, creator of The Chosen, also joins as a shareholder and special advisor to the project.
Produced by Nomadic Pictures, Argonauts, Wonder Project, Amazon MGM Studios, Kingdom Story Company, and Lionsgate Television, House of David promises to offer an unforgettable exploration of the biblical hero’s rise to power and his complex relationship with fate, loyalty, and leadership.
