What an incredible journey we had with House of David Season 1! The biblical drama, telling the story of David’s rise from an overlooked shepherd to the most renowned king of Israel, captured hearts and screens, becoming a surprise streaming hit. We watched Michael Iskander bring David to life, alongside Stephen Lang as Samuel. The series quickly became hugely popular, climbing to number two on Amazon’s top ten shows list, even putting up numbers ahead of new seasons for The Wheel of Time and Invincible, and all for a fraction of the cost. It drew more than 40 million viewers, making it one of the platform’s most watched debuts, even hitting number one on Prime Video. Fans, including myself, are absolutely thrilled that Season 2 was greenlit just two weeks after the first season concluded in April, and it’s reportedly already in production!
Now, for the news you have been waiting for: the release date for House of David Season 2! The sophomore season will be available early for Prime Video users who purchase a new Wonder Project subscription. This is fantastic news for devoted fans, as the release is coming sooner than expected. Wonder Project, a new faith and values focused subscription channel, is set to launch this fall as a paid add on within Prime Video. For just $8.99 a month, subscribers will gain exclusive early access to content like House of David. As Wonder Project founder Jon Erwin stated, their audience is “underserved and craves a destination they can trust with exceptional originals and curated movies and TV shows”.
While the early access is confirmed for the fall, a wider release on Prime Video will follow at an unspecified later date. Some industry analysis, based on similar biblical dramas, suggests a potential timeline for a general release could stretch to July or even October 2026, considering production schedules. However, the immediate focus is on that exciting early access via Wonder Project!
As for what awaits us in Season 2, we know it will continue David’s adventures after his monumental fight with Goliath. It seems more than likely that the next chapter will delve into David’s feuds with King Saul and his momentous rise to power as he becomes king himself. Co writer Jon Erwin has hinted that many fans are “getting it really, really right” with their speculations about the season’s storyline. Get ready, because David’s next chapter is just around the corner for early viewers!
