Levi: David's Story Rivals 'Lord of the Rings'

Actor Zachary Levi lends his voice to narrate the Fox Nation original series, "David: King of Israel." This four-part docudrama delves into the profound and human journey of David, who ascended to become one of Israel's most renowned kings.

The series chronicles David's transformation from a humble shepherd boy to a powerful ruler. Christians recognize him as an ancestor of Jesus Christ. Levi, known for his roles in "Shazam!" and "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel," hosts the production, which combines historical reenactments with expert commentary for an immersive viewer experience.

The narrative begins with David as a young shepherd protecting his flock, as seen in the premiere episode "The Shepherd." Subsequent episodes, starting with "King of Israel" on March 5, explore his battles, including his famous confrontation with Goliath. Levi shared that David's story has deeply resonated with him since childhood due to its epic scale and relatable human struggles. He emphasized David's flawed nature, describing him as a "good man" who made "horrible decisions," a lesson he believes is pertinent today.

Levi further elaborated that the docudrama offers spiritual insights, portraying David as a figure whose heart God recognized despite his moral complexities. He suggested the series rivals modern fantasy epics, featuring giants, battles, and a compelling good versus evil narrative, all set within a biblical context. "David: King of Israel" airs exclusively on Fox Nation.
