Prime subscribers can now binge "House of David," a two-season historical epic detailing the biblical rise of King David. The series, which began airing in 2025, follows David's journey from a humble shepherd to the first ruler of the Kingdom of Israel, including his legendary defeat of Goliath.
The second season of the highly-rated show became available to all Prime subscribers in March. Although a third season has not yet been confirmed, its positive reception suggests future episodes are likely.
Fans have lauded the series for its action, cinematography, and character development. Many viewers have expressed deep engagement, with some noting how the show builds suspense even for those familiar with the biblical narrative.
However, not all reviews are positive. One critique described the show as "wooden and cheap-looking, humourless and dull," suggesting it failed to provide compelling reasons for viewers to invest in its narrative. Despite this, the show's creators emphasize its appeal to audiences of all religious backgrounds.
