A new series, "House of David," is set to premiere on Amazon Prime Video, offering a captivating portrayal of the life of King David. The show chronicles David's journey from an overlooked shepherd boy to becoming the most celebrated king of Israel, exploring themes of destiny, love, loss, and conflict within the royal court.

The series launches on February 27th with an initial release of three episodes, followed by weekly installments. For creator Jon Erwin, this project represents the culmination of a long-held ambition. He began writing the script in his youth, inspired by a visit to King David's tomb in Jerusalem.

Erwin shared with Fox News Digital that each film he's made has been a stepping stone towards tackling this monumental story. He sees David as the quintessential underdog, whose journey resonates across generations. This "hero's journey" narrative, from humble beginnings to ultimate triumph, is a timeless archetype.

Beyond his accomplishments, David's flawed nature and relatable struggles contribute to his enduring appeal. Erwin emphasizes David's humanity, highlighting his mistakes alongside his triumphs.

Produced in collaboration with MGM Studios and Amazon, "House of David" was filmed in Greece. Erwin believes the success of films like his own "Jesus Revolution" demonstrates a clear audience demand for faith-based and inspirational content. He sees this project as a testament to the power of audience demand and the desire for stories that offer hope and upliftment in challenging times.
