A new TV series, House of David, charting the early life of King David has been released on Amazon Prime. The eight-episode series, produced by The Wonder project, charts David’s story from his anointing as God’s chosen king by Samuel through to his defeat of Goliath.

Forbes magazine reports that the series has “with zero social media chatter...quickly become a big hit” and was even at number two in the Amazon Prime streaming chart in the US on 10 March.

Series Director Jon Erwing, who has previously worked on other faith-related projects including I Can Only Imagine (2018) and I Still Believe (2020) with his brother Andrew, had initially assumed that the series would be produced independently.
