The Wonder Project’s highly anticipated biblical series “House of David” has released exclusive first-look images, including some from scenes depicting the epic battle between David and Goliath.

Jon Erwin (“Jesus Revolution,” “I Can Only Imagine,” “American Underdog”) created and co-directs the series alongside Jon Gunn (“Ordinary Angels,” “The Case for Christ”). The series also features Dallas Jenkins (“The Chosen,” “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever”) as a special advisor.

Season 1 will release exclusively on Prime Video Feb. 27, 2025. The cast includes Michael Iskander as David, Ali Suliman (“Jack Ryan,” “Arthur the King”) as King Saul, Stephen Lang (“Avatar,” “Don’t Breathe”) as Samuel, and Ayelet Zurer (“Angels and Demons,” “Man of Steel”) as Queen Ahinoam.

The series tells the biblical story of David, the most renowned king of Israel and the author of more than 70 Psalms.

According to the series’ website, “House of David” explores “the once-mighty King Saul as he falls victim to his own pride. At the direction of God, the prophet Samuel anoints an unlikely, outcast teenager as the new king.”

“As Saul loses his power over his kingdom,” the description continues, “David finds himself on a journey to discover and fulfill his destiny, navigating love, loss, and violence in the court of the very man he’s destined to replace. As one leader falls, another must rise.”

One of the most anticipated moments in the series is David’s legendary battle with the Philistine giant Goliath, played by Martyn Ford (“F9: The Fast Saga,” “Kingsman: The Golden Circle”).

When the series debuts in February, the first three episodes will be available immediately, followed by weekly releases of subsequent episodes.

Erwin and former YouTube and Netflix executive Kelly Merryman Hoogstraten launched The Wonder Project last year. The company aims to “build a trusted brand that serves a vast but underserved audience with courageous stories that restore faith in things worth believing in.”
