Selome Hailu “House of David” has been renewed for a second season at Amazon Prime Video. The news comes after the series premiered with 22 million viewers in its first 17 days of streaming, and ahead of the Season 1 finale on April 3.
The biblical drama tells the story of David (Michael Iskander), an outcast teenager who is anointed as the new king by the prophet Samuel (Stephen Lang) as the once-mighty King Saul (Ali Suliman) falls victim to his own pride and begins to lose power.
Season 2 will follow David’s rise to the throne in the aftermath of his battle with Goliath (Martyn Ford), as he also navigates palace politics, his family’s jealousy and a growing romance. “House of David” is based on an idea by Jon Erwin, who writes, directs and executive produces alongside Jon Gunn via Wonder Project.
Executive producers for Season 2 also include Justin Rosenblatt, Trey Callaway, Michael Frislev, Chad Oakes, Ethan Reiff and Cyrus Voris serve, with Rosenblatt serving as executive in charge of production on behalf of Wonder Project.
