Prime Video has renewed the historical drama House of David for a second season ahead of its series finale on April 3.

With a growing library of historical dramas, Prime Video is becoming one of the best streaming services for religious TV shows. Its sprawling library has the likes of The Chosen, a hugely successful series that dramatizes the life of Jesus Christ. With a 60% Rotten Tomatoes score from the critics, House of David doesn’t make it onto our best Prime Video shows list. However, it’s clearly been a huge hit among audience given its staggering results.

House of David season 2 follows David’s rise to the throne in the aftermath of his battle with Goliath (Martyn Ford). As he navigates palace politics, his family’s jealousy and a growing romance, David learns what it means to become a great leader.
Vernon Sanders, head of television at Amazon MGM Studios shared: “Jon Erwin and Jon Gunn’s compelling creative vision has solidified our belief in the series and we are excited to deliver more of the story to our customers. We look forward to a continued journey with Wonder Project as we further expand our slate to encompass faith-based series.”
