CULVER CITY , California — January 28, 2025 — Today, Prime Video released the official trailer and key art
for the upcoming biblical drama series, House of David. The trailer offers a first look at newcomer
Michael Iskander as David, the eventual King of Israel, as he takes on Goliath (Martyn Ford) and fulfills
his destiny as God’s Chosen, anointed by Samuel the Prophet (Stephen Lang).House of David comes from visionary filmmakers and Wonder Project creative leaders Jon Erwin (Jesus
Revolution, American Underdog) and Jon Gunn (Ordinary Angels). The series will premiere on February
27, 2025, on Prime Video with three episodes and one episode weekly thereafter in more than 240
countries and territories worldwide.
Iskander was cast as David following a four-month international search and is fresh off his role in the
Tony Award-winning musical, Kimberly Akimbo. House of David also stars Ali Suliman (Jack Ryan, Arthur
the King) as King Saul, Ayelet Zurer (Angels And Demons, Man Of Steel) as Queen Ahinoam and Saul’s
trusted wife, Stephen Lang (Avatar: The Way of Water, Don’t Breathe) as Samuel, and Martyn Ford
(Mortal Kombat 2, The Sandman) as Goliath.
House of David tells the story of the ascent of the biblical figure, David, who eventually becomes the
most renowned and celebrated king of Israel. The series follows the once-mighty King Saul as he falls
victim to his own pride. At the direction of God, the prophet Samuel anoints an unlikely, outcast
teenager as the new king. 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. As one leader falls, another must rise.
Additional cast includes Indy Lewis (Industry, King and Conqueror) as Mychal and Yali Topol Margalith
(Tattooist of Auschwitz, A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder [2024]) as Mirab, Saul’s daughters; Ethan Kai as
Jonathan (The Turkish Detective, Carnival Row 2), Saul’s son and heir apparent; Sam Otto (Snowpiercer,
The State) as Eshbaal, the irreverent middle child; Oded Fehr (Star Trek, La Cocina) as Abner, Saul’s
advisor; Louis Ferreira (Shogun, Breaking Bad) as Jesse, David’s father; Davood Ghadami (Eastenders, The
Chelsea Detective) as Eliab, David’s eldest brother and decorated warrior in King Saul’s army; and Ashraf
Barhom (Tyrant, The Last Planet) as Doeg, a mysterious Edomite, and Alexander Uloom (Sari and Amira,
Heera) who plays King Achish.
The series is based on an idea by Jon Erwin. Erwin, Gunn, Jonathan Lloyd Walker, Justin Rosenblatt, Chad
Oakes, and Michael Frislev are also executive producers on the series. Justin Rosenblatt served as the
executive in charge of production on behalf of Wonder Project. Dallas Jenkins, the creator and

Pictures and Argonauts, along with Kingdom Story Company and Lionsgate Television.
