A new biblical epic is in the works starring Luke Dimyan (who plays Judas in “The Chosen”), Erick Avari (who plays Nicodemus in “The Chosen”), and Chloe Avakian. A short film titled “The Solomon Saga” is complete and is planned to be a launch point for an eight-part series.
“It all started with Brad’s dream to create an epic story of King Solomon’s life! He enlisted the passion of his longtime friend Matt and the journey began,” says a Feb. 17 post about the project. “Next they engaged the talents of Max to write the script. Then added Sylvia to the team to Direct the introductory short film as a launchpad for a bigger project.”
“We have big plans in the works and all of you, the fans, are a vital part of this journey!” the post added. “So PLEASE follow us and stay tuned.”

‘The Solomon Saga’ Stars Luke Dimyan, Erick Avari
Given the recent success of “The Chosen,” “House of David,” and “The King of Kings,” it seems that audiences are hungry for faith-based content. “The Chosen,” a series that dramatizes the life of Jesus, has become a global phenomenon. The theatrical release of Part 1 of Season 5 set a record for the show, grossing $11,755,197 domestically and nearly $13 million worldwide, according to Box Office Mojo.
“House of David,” which is streaming on Amazon Prime and tells the biblical story of King David, was the No. 1 show on Prime Video following the release of the Season 1 finale.

“The King of Kings,” a movie that depicts Charles Dickens telling his son the story of Jesus Christ, earned more than $19 million during its opening weekend. The film features an all-star cast and broke the record for the biggest opening for an animated Bible film, an achievement previously held by “The Prince of Egypt.”
In response to a request for comment, The Solomon Saga told ChurchLeaders that the short film, “The Solomon Saga,” has been completed and is “a jumping off point for a larger 8 part limited series.” The plan is for the pilot for that series to be filmed at the beginning of 2026. People can follow The Solomon Saga’s accounts on social media at the handle @thesolomonsaga for updates.
Luke Dimyan, who plays the role of Judas Iscariot in “The Chosen,” stars as Solomon. A clip of “The Solomon Saga” shows Solomon telling the character Devorah, “It is to show the world that our God will be honored in a way that no one has ever seen. Ours will be a golden kingdom full of mystique and glory, and it will all be for him.”
