The historical epic has quietly become one of the most popular genres of movies and TV shows over the last 25 years. While many fans would argue that this dates back to Peter Jackson’s early work with The Lord of the Rings franchise, it truly goes back even further to acclaimed epics like Lawrence of Arabia. However, the advancement in modern technology has added an enhanced sense of realism to some of the later modern epics, like Game of Thrones, the hit HBO series inspired by the A Song of Ice and Fire novels by George R.R. Martin. The rise of shows like Game of Thrones has also paved the way for biblical historical epics like The Chosen to take over the zeitgeist and become some of the most popular projects in the world.
One recent show that perfectly bridges the gap between Game of Thrones and The Chosen is House of David, the historical epic that premiered on Prime Video early last year before it returned with its second season less than nine months later. Prime Video has not only renewed House of David for a third season, but the streamer has explicitly confirmed that Season 3 will premiere before the end of this year — an impressive turnaround time for a show this ambitious. Before the Season 3 return of House of David later this year, the show has charged back into the Prime Video global top 10, sitting at #8 at the time of writing. This is especially noteworthy, considering the Season 2 finale aired all the way back in November. Fans refuse to quit on Prime Video’s hit historical epic/faith-based series.
What Is ‘House of David’ About?
The House of David cast consists of Michael Iskander as David, Ali Suliman as Saul, and Stephen Lang as Samuel, among others. The official synopsis for House of David reads as follows:
“House of David tells the story of the ascent of the biblical icon, David, who becomes the most famous king of Israel. The series follows the once-might King Saul as he falls victim to his own pride. As Saul loses his power over his kingdom, David finds himself on a journey to discover and fulfill his destiny, navigating love, loss, and violence in the court of the very man he’s destined to replace.”
Check out the first two seasons of House of David on Prime Video, and stay tuned to Collider for more updates and coverage of Season 3.
