As part of the new pact, Prime Video has ordered its first project post ‘The Chosen’ called ‘House of David‘.

 The logline reads: “House of David” follows the once-mighty King Saul as he falls victim to his own pride. A prophet prepares to overthrow him — anointing the outcast shepherd boy David as a second king. As Saul’s fury grows, David navigates love, violence and politics in the court of the very man he’s destined to replace. Two kings. One Kingdom. The outcome is war.”

The streamer can only hope the potential fan base for this story and the company’s other “values-driven” content is as rabid as Jenkins’ is for The Chosen, some of whom have watched on Prime Video. The latter — which follows the life of Jesus, played by Jonathan Roumie, as seen through the eyes of his followers — is set to roll out its fourth season theatrically over several weeks in February, before releasing the episodes on the Chosen app and other platforms.

This is the third attempt at telling the story of David. The most recent was actually a great modern interpretation . It was titled ‘Kings’
