Prime Video’s biblical drama House of David has been swiftly renewed for a second season following a hugely successful premiere. The show, which launched on February 27, 2025, with three episodes, has already racked up impressive viewership numbers.
Here’s the Lowdown: House of David attracted 22 million viewers in its first 17 days and is among the top 10 new series debuts in the US. Season One is currently airing weekly, with new episodes released each week until the finale on April 3. The series tells the story of David’s rise to become the king of Israel, focusing on his relationship with the declining King Saul. Michael Iskander will return as David.
What This Means Now: The rapid renewal demonstrates Prime Video’s confidence in the series and its appeal to a large audience, particularly within the faith-based demographic. The show’s creators, Jon Erwin and Jon Gunn, known for Jesus Revolution and Ordinary Angels, will continue as directors, writers, and executive producers.
The Bigger Picture: Season Two will pick up after the famous battle between David and Goliath, showing David’s path to the throne. It will show palace intrigue, family tensions, and romance as David grows into his role as a leader. The large cast will return, with Ali Suliman as King Saul, Ayelet Zurer as Queen Ahinoam, and Stephen Lang as Samuel. The show’s swift renewal indicates a move for more faith-based dramas from streaming networks.
