That spiritual progression, he added, is central to the story and reflects David’s ongoing journey of faith.

“He’s still growing. He’s still got a journey,” Iskander said.
One of the most meaningful moments for Iskander came while filming the emotional farewell between David and Jonathan.
“I remember filming that scene and looking at [the actor portraying Jonathan] and I always have these moments where I’m transported back in time and then I don’t see Ethan in front of me—I see Jonathan,” Iskander said.
Iskander continued, “it just kind of overwhelms you that this actually happened. This is a true story. We’re not telling a fictional story. These are real people who are complex, and they make their own mistakes and they’re trying to understand God in this very messy world we live in.”
While the series is rooted in the Bible, Iskander said its impact has extended far beyond Christian viewers.
“I’ve had people reach out who are not Christian…Jewish, Muslim, atheist,” he said. “People from all different walks of life reach out to me and say, ‘This show means so much to me. It has affected me and has changed me.’”
“I think that’s just a testament to the the power of the Holy Spirit working,” Iskander added.
With its mix of action, relationships, and spiritual themes, Iskander says the show offers something for everyone.
“Not only is it a biblical story—it’s just a really good story, period. It’s epic,” he said. “It’s filled with so much action and romance, with everything that anyone could ever want.”
Season 2 of “House of David” begins streaming March 27 on Prime Video.
