‘House of David’ Season 2 Gets Release Date and First Look, Wonder Project to Debut on Prime
Los Angeles, USA – The biblical epic “House of David” is set to return for its highly anticipated second season on October 5, 2025, exclusively on the new Wonder Project subscription service launching on Amazon Prime Video. The announcement, accompanied by stunning first-look photos, marks a significant milestone for the faith-based drama, which captivated over 40 million viewers worldwide in its debut season, per Variety. The premiere coincides with Wonder Project’s debut, offering subscribers early access to the series before a wider Prime Video release at a later date.
“House of David” Season 2 will kick off with a two-episode premiere, continuing the saga of David, played by Michael Iskander, as he navigates palace politics and his rise to the throne following his victory over Goliath. Created by Jon Erwin and Jon Gunn, the series picks up with intense drama, exploring David’s family tensions and a burgeoning romance, as teased in first-look images released on August 28, per IMDb. The photos showcase epic battle scenes and emotional moments, with returning cast members Ali Suliman as King Saul, Stephen Lang as Samuel, and Ayelet Zurer as Queen Ahinoam, per ChurchLeaders.com.
The series, a co-production between Wonder Project, Amazon MGM Studios, Nomadic Pictures, Argonauts, and Lionsgate Television, has been praised for its “courageous storytelling,” with Erwin stating, “The new season is epic and emotional,” per VitalThrills.com. Fans on X, like @FaithTVFan, raved, “Those Season 2 photos are 🔥! David’s journey is about to get wild! #HouseOfDavid.”
The Wonder Project subscription, priced at $8.99/month or $89.99/year in the U.S., launches on October 5, offering over 1,000 hours of curated content and 125 licensed titles, including classics like The Sound of Music, Dead Poets Society, and Pride and Prejudice, alongside originals like “House of David.” The service, founded by Jon Erwin and Kelly Merryman Hoogstraten, aims to “entertain the world with courageous stories, inspiring hope and restoring faith,” per Variety. Hoogstraten, a mother of two, emphasized its family-friendly appeal, saying, “I’m always looking for great films and TV series to watch with the kids,” per IMDb.
The subscription’s exclusivity for Season 2’s premiere has sparked debate, with @PrimeVideoFan tweeting, “$9 extra for ‘House of David’ S2? Worth it for early access!” Others, like @TVWatcher88, expressed frustration, noting, “Why put it behind a paywall? I’ll wait for the Prime release.” Tom’s Guide reported that the move, costing an additional $8.99 on top of a Prime subscription, is a “subscription-within-a-subscription,” drawing mixed reactions.
The launch aligns with Amazon’s push into faith-based content, following the success of The Chosen and a developing Joseph of Egypt series, per Variety. Prime Video’s Ryan Pirozzi called it “another step to ensure Prime Video offers something for everyone,” per VitalThrills.com. The show’s first season, which hit No. 1 on Prime Video in April 2025, drew 22 million viewers in its first 17 days, per Deadline, setting high expectations for Season 2.
Fans are buzzing with anticipation, with @BiblicalEpics posting, “October 5 can’t come soon enough! ‘House of David’ S2 looks like a masterpiece.” The series’ global appeal, bolstered by its renewal in March 2025, positions Wonder Project as a key player in faith-driven entertainment, per Hollywood Reporter.
“House of David” Season 2 will debut exclusively on Wonder Project via Prime Video, with a global release to follow. The service’s launch, backed by Amazon MGM Studios, signals a bold step in curating values-based content. As the premiere approaches, the series promises to deliver epic action and heartfelt storytelling, solidifying its place as a cornerstone of Wonder Project’s mission.
