Prime Video Renews 'House of David' for Season 2

Prime Video's 'House of David' has been renewed for a second season following its successful debut, which garnered 22 million viewers in the first 17 days. The series, created by Jon Erwin and Jon Gunn, depicts the biblical story of King David, focusing on his rise from a young shepherd to the celebrated king of Israel. The show has been praised by faith-based audiences, despite mixed critical reviews, and features Michael Iskander in the lead role. The first season will conclude on April 3, and the upcoming season will explore the aftermath of David's battle with Goliath and his ascent to power. The renewal is part of Amazon's strategic shift towards more faith-based content, inspired by the success of similar projects like 'The Chosen'. Notably, Vernon Sanders, head of Amazon MGM Studios, expressed enthusiasm for continuing the series and expanding their slate of faith-based programming.
