8 faith-filled films, TV shows to watch this fall, from 'Soul on Fire' to 'House of David'
6. 'House of David' season 2 (now streaming on Prime Video via Wonder Project)
The hit biblical series that captivated 44 million viewers returns for its second season.
Produced by Wonder Project and Amazon MGM Studios, “'House of David' follows Israel’s future king as he rises from shepherd to warrior. Season two picks up in the aftermath of Goliath’s fall, as David (Michael Iskander) faces battles both external and internal.
Jon Gunn, who created the series alongside Jon Erwin, told The Christian Post that season two charts David’s emergence as a warrior.
“This is the season where David’s rise to fame and destiny really begins,” he said. “But it comes at a great cost for all those around him. Season two amplifies everything. It’s bigger, deeper, more ambitious.”
Iskander, the 23-year-old star of the series, previously told CP that season two is the culmination of one of the Old Testament's most famous lines: "Saul killed his thousands, David his tens of thousands."
"The first season was really about this young shepherd boy, this teenager, trying to find himself and what God wants from him, what is his destiny, and what is the will of God. But he was a little kid. Season two is about David coming into his own and stepping into God's will for him and becoming that warrior."
