The Christian groups behind \u201cThe Chosen\u201d and \u201cJesus Revolution\u201d are now focusing on a project portraying the life of King David.<\/p>\n
\u201cHouse of David\u201d will stream on Amazon Prime Video.<\/p>\n
The show\u2019s logline reads, according to The Hollywood Reporter<\/a>, \u201cHouse of David <\/em>follows the once-mighty King Saul as he falls victim to his own pride. A prophet prepares to overthrow him \u2014 anointing the outcast shepherd boy David as a second king. As Saul\u2019s fury grows, David navigates love, violence and politics in the court of the very man he\u2019s destined to replace. Two kings. One Kingdom. The outcome is war.\u201d<\/p>\n Those involved with the project include Jon Erwin of \u201cJesus Revolution,\u201d Dallas Jenkins of \u201cThe Chosen\u201d and Kelly Merryman Hoogstraten from Netflix.<\/p>\n Amazon MGM Studios\u2018 head of TV Vernon Sanders said in a statement, \u201cWhen we met with Jon, Kelly and Dallas, their clear and passionate vision for The Wonder Project and their ambition to nurture universal stories of love, triumph and spirituality moved us.
