On May 14, Wonder Project and Amazon MGM Studios are expanding the world of the hit biblical drama “House of David” with a new, three-part companion special titled “The Old Stories: Moses.”

The series explores the narratives that shaped Israel before David became king. According to the official synopsis, “As the past unfolds with epic force, a young shepherd sees his own future reflected in the courage, failure, and obedience of those who came before him.”

The project was created by Jon Erwin, the filmmaker behind “Jesus Revolution,” “Woodlawn,” “I Can Only Imagine,” “The Jesus Music,” “House of David,” and the upcoming “Young Washington.”

Erwin described his new miniseries as “epic and personal,” sharing that he can’t wait for audiences to experience it.

“Moses is one of the most iconic figures in history, and his story still resonates with us today,” he said. “We set out to tell ‘The Old Stories: Moses’ with a cinematic awe and scale that feels both epic and personal. I am especially proud of the cast performances, and I can’t wait for people to see it on Wonder Project.”

Academy Award-winning actor Ben Kingsley (“Gandhi,” “Schindler’s List,” “The King of Kings,” “Iron Man 3”) stars as Moses, while Emmy nominee O-T Fagbenle (“Black Widow,” “The Handmaid’s Tale”) plays Pharaoh.

Additional cast members include Louis Ferreira (“House of David”), Anna Khaja (“The Chosen”), and Rada Rae (“House of David”).
