The House Of David is closing up shop
The faith-based TV series about the Bible's most famous slingshot-wielding king is coming to an end after three seasons.
After three seasons of biblical storytelling, Amazon and Wonder Project's hit show House of David has decided to wrap up its epic saga. According to Variety, the creators, executive producers Jon Erwin and Jon Gunn, had always planned for the series to conclude with its third and final season. The trio recently wrapped filming for the final chapter in Greece.
In a statement, Erwin and Gunn explained that Season Three serves as the concluding chapter of David's life, as they originally intended since the very beginning. They expressed hope that audiences would appreciate the growth David undergoes by the time his narrative reaches the throne.
Unlike other popular series such as House of the Dragon or Of Cards, House of David offers a unique perspective, centered around the carpenter who became King David. In the biblical account, David (portrayed by Michael Iskander) is the second king of Israel and the leader of the Tribe of Judah. He is best known for his victory over Goliath (played by Martyn Ford) in the show's climactic first-season finale, which marks a significant turning point in David's life, transforming him from a peaceful shepherd to the chosen king of his people.
In the third and final season, David is exiled and forced to hide among his enemies, where he learns the "true cost of destiny—the betrayals endured, the identities shed, and the sacrifices demanded of a hero before he can rise to the throne."
