Chris is a Senior News Writer for Collider. He can be found in an IMAX screen, with his eyes watering and his ears bleeding for his own pleasure. He joined the news team in 2022 and accidentally fell upwards into a senior position despite his best efforts.

For reasons unknown, he enjoys analyzing box office receipts, giant sharks, and has become known as the go-to man for all things Bosch, Mission: Impossible and Christopher Nolan in Collider's news division. Recently, he found himself yeehawing along to the Dutton saga on the Yellowstone Ranch.

He is proficient in sarcasm, wit, Photoshop and working unfeasibly long hours. Amongst his passions sit the likes of the history of the Walt Disney Company, the construction of theme parks, steam trains and binge-watching Gilmore Girls with a coffee that is just hot enough to scald him.

His obsession with the Apple TV+ series Silo is the subject of mockery within the Senior News channel, where his feelings about Taylor Sheridan's work are enough to make his fellow writers roll their eyes.

If you enjoyed your Biblical action but didn't have the patience for it, well, there's some good news for you. Prime Video has officially announced that Season 2 of House of David will debut globally on March 27, 2026, with all episodes dropping at once. Yes, it’s a full binge situation.

After captivating more than 40 million viewers worldwide in its first season, the biblical epic is back with higher stakes, deeper betrayals, and a kingdom on the brink.

Season 2 picks up as Israel teeters toward collapse. King Saul’s reign is faltering, and the power vacuum is beginning to show cracks in every corner of the kingdom. David, still rising from shepherd to warrior, finds himself caught between loyalty and destiny. As the Age of Iron transforms warfare and reshapes the battlefield, alliances shift, forbidden loves ignite, and families fracture under the weight of ambition and prophecy.

Michael Iskander reprises his role as David, continuing the character’s transformation from humble beginnings to a central force in Israel’s future. He’s joined once again by Ali Suliman as King Saul, Ayelet Zurer as Queen Ahinoam, and Stephen Lang as Samuel. The ensemble also includes Indy Lewis, Yali Topol Margalith, Ethan Kai, Sam Otto, Oded Fehr, Louis Ferreira, Davood Ghadami, Ashraf Barhom, and Alexander Uloom, expanding the show’s sweeping political and spiritual canvas.

House of David hails from Wonder Project’s Jon Erwin and Jon Gunn, who executive produce alongside Jonathan Lloyd Walker, Justin Rosenblatt, Chad Oakes, Michael Frislev, Trey Callaway, and Mark McNair. Rosenblatt also served as executive in charge of production on behalf of Wonder Project. Dallas Jenkins, creator of The Chosen, is a shareholder and special advisor to Wonder Project

Is 'House of David' Worth Watching?

Collider’s review stated that House of David proved there’s still cinematic potential in biblical storytelling, even if the series didn’t always capitalize on it. Bringing epic Old Testament drama to Prime Video, the show traced David’s rise long before his iconic showdown with Goliath, framing the story with palace intrigue, shifting power dynamics, and the unraveling reign of King Saul.

Ultimately, House of David is a series that isn't afraid to go big when it needs to in battles and with a certain amount of violence. It understands that the names we know from the Bible aren't necessarily black and white, but the series would benefit from investing more in each character's agenda to make the story arcs a lot more compelling. From a "Christian universe" standpoint, though, House of David is a leap forward that has the potential to burst out of its faith-based bubble.

House of David Season 2 returns on March 27 on Prime Video.
