There has been quite a resurgence in the genre of biblical stories in film and television. With streaming and the movie industry adapting to an evolving taste in storytelling, many studios are looking to particular genres that have been consistent hits with audiences. One area that has been pretty consistent has been biblical stories, whether it be Noah’s Ark or the origins of Jesus Christ. Some favorite biblical adaptations in film and television include Mel Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ, 1956’s The Ten Commandments, The Prince of Egypt, The Nativity Story, VeggieTales, and Darren Aronofsky’s Noah.

Adapting biblical stories to the small or big screen has proved an arduous endeavor, as the controversy surrounding the projects is usually inevitable. However, seeming inaccuracies aside, a few storytellers have been able to adapt certain stories and have found much success with the outcomes. For example, The Chosen has become a consistent hit on streaming, with the show already renewed for season 5. Now, Prime Video has joined the game, with their latest series getting an early renewal.

House Of David Has Been Renewed For Season 2

This Announcement Has Come Early, Before Its Season 1 Finale

Prime Video has provided a new update on their series House of David. The historical show illuestrate King Saul’s decline while a shepherd, David, is rising to the occasion as a potential king. This causes both leaders to go into battle for the kingdom while also dealing with their own personal conflicts. Although it received mixed reviews from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, there has been strong interest among audiences, leading to an 89% score. As a result, the biblical epic has been consistently charting on Prime Video, which is also home to Reacher and The Wheel of Time.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Prime Video has renewed House of David for season 2. Season 1’s first three episodes reportedly drew 22 million viewers in the first 17 days, and the season 1 finale will air on Prime Video on April 3. While there are no further details about release or filming, creators and writers Jon Erwin and Jon Gunn released a statement about the renewal. Read it below:

“We are humbled by the extraordinary reaction this show has earned from the faith audience worldwide. Thanks to them and our partners at Prime Video and Amazon MGM Studios, Wonder Project will bring more of the Bible and this epic saga to a global audience. Congratulations to our incredible cast and crew.”

Our Take On House Of David’s Season 2 Renewal

The Biblical Character David Deserves Further Exploration

David has always been an interesting figure, even outside his famed battle with Goliath. While it’s unclear where House of David season 2 will go, especially since the series has explored details not in the Bible, there could be potential to further depict the intrigue and power struggles surrounding David’s rise to the throne. Nevertheless, I look forward to seeing Erwin and the House of David cast in approaching the next phase of the story, especially if they continue to take liberties in the biblical arcs.

House of David is available to stream on Prime Video.
