The story of King David is hitting Prime Video in a new series called “House of David.” This show follows the biblical figure on his journey to becoming the celebrated king of Israel.
In “House of David,” we see the rise of David as he is anointed by the prophet Samuel to replace King Saul, who has lost favor with God due to his own pride. The series delves into David’s challenges and triumphs as he navigates love, loss, and violence in the king’s court. As Saul’s power wanes, David’s destiny unfolds, showcasing a dramatic tale of leadership and transformation.
The idea for “House of David” comes from director Jon Erwin, who also serves as an executive producer on the show. The series stars newcomer Michael Iskander as David, a role he landed after an extensive international search. The cast also includes Ali Suliman as King Saul, Ayelet Zurer, Stephen Lang, Indy Lewis, and Martyn Ford as the mighty Goliath.
According to Erwin, “‘House of David’ is our modern take on a 3,000-year-old hero’s journey, and it all begins with our talented lead, Michael Iskander.” The show promises an incredible ensemble cast and a compelling story that will captivate audiences worldwide.
“House of David” is set to premiere on Prime Video on February 27th, so mark your calendars and get ready to dive into this epic tale of power, destiny, and the human spirit.
