Sight & Sound, Wonder Project partner to stream biblical productions

Wonder Project is expanding its library of faith-based programming through a new partnership with Sight & Sound, bringing the theater company's acclaimed biblical stage productions to streaming in a season-long rollout beginning July 30.

The agreement makes Wonder Project on Prime Video the exclusive third-party streaming home for the comprehensive collection of Sight & Sound productions available on an outside streaming service. New titles will debut approximately every two weeks through the fall, according to a statement shared with The Christian Post.

The partnership unites two of the fastest-growing names in faith-based entertainment as demand for biblical and family programming continues to expand.

Wonder Project was founded by filmmaker Jon Erwin and former YouTube executive Kelly Merryman Hoogstraten in December 2023 and already features original biblical series including “House of David,” recently renewed for a third season, and “The Old Stories: Moses,” alongside family titles including “The Prince of Egypt,” “Joseph: King of Dreams” and “VeggieTales.”

"Few organizations have earned the level of trust and lasting connection with audiences that Sight & Sound has built over generations," Ani Haftvani, Wonder Project's senior vice president of programming and content acquisitions, said in a statement.

"Their productions have become part of family traditions and a milestone experience for kids growing up across the country. We're honored to celebrate that legacy with a season of exclusive SVOD premieres, giving Wonder audiences new opportunities to experience these stories together throughout the fall."

The streaming collection includes filmed versions of “Jesus,” “Ruth,” “Moses,” “Noah — 30th Anniversary,” “Queen Esther,” “David,” “Samson,” “Daniel” and “Miracle of Christmas.” Select productions will feature behind-the-scenes content, while “The Story of Sight & Sound,” a documentary chronicling the ministry's origins, will also be available.

Founded in 1976 by Glenn and Shirley Eshelman, family-owned Sight & Sound has spent nearly five decades bringing biblical stories to life through elaborate theatrical productions featuring original music, massive sets, live animals and casts of nearly 60 performers.

The ministry previously told CP it welcomes nearly 2 million guests annually to its theaters in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and Branson, Missouri, while also expanding in recent years into filmmaking and streaming.

Sight & Sound President Josh Enck said in a recent interview with The Christian Post that the organization's mission has remained unchanged despite its growth into new platforms.

"We try to say no to hundreds of good ideas and yes to the God idea," Enck said. "Once we know, we don't look back. We are anti-ego. None of this is about us. It's about bringing the Bible to life on stage and now on screen and getting out of the way of what God is doing."

That philosophy extends to every production, according to the creative team. Ryan Miller, the company's creative producer, previously told CP that each show concludes with a clear presentation of the Gospel because "it's why we're here."

"Our founder was a preacher [...] the Gospel message has to be clearly communicated," Miller said. "We always try and make sure that, yes, the Gospel message is preached, while also trying to inspire and encourage and strengthen people who are already saved."

Katie Miller, Sight & Sound's vice president of brand development, said the Wonder Project partnership reflects that shared vision.

"There's something special about getting to partner with like-minded organizations using their platforms to spread messages of hope to a hope-hungry world," she said. "We're grateful for this new partnership and cannot wait to begin bringing these powerful stories to life for Wonder audiences and their families across the country."

The agreement also deepens an existing relationship between the companies. “A Great Awakening,” Sight & Sound Films' historical drama about evangelist George Whitefield, is already streaming on Wonder Project.

The season-long rollout begins July 30 on Wonder Project's Prime Video subscription channel, with new productions premiering roughly every two weeks throughout the fall.
