Anticipated arcs in House of David season 2: Betrayal, brotherhood and the birth of a King

Season 2 explores the fallout of David’s victory over Goliath. Saul’s jealous rage is a threat to the throne and crown, but in the aftermath, David wrestles with his calling. What is home, and what is ultimate loyalty? The preview evoked a fierce scuffle with swords flashing, chariots racing across rain-starved deserts, and Stone Age palaces hiding secrets. A hint of romance between David and Mychal adds an emotional touch, but family feuds, especially the conflict between Saul and Jonathan, are reignited.

Trust, survival, and faith run deep, all of which are subtly hinted at in the stunning visuals and costuming. Eight episodes will be released weekly starting October 5 and serve as a lead-up to David’s coronation. Jon Erwin and Jon Gunn have a special style, merging grand biblical action with tranquil moments of tenderness like prayers in hidden caves, portraying the big story and the personal story.

House of David Season 2 will debut at midnight PT (3 a.m. ET) on October 5, 2025, on Amazon Prime Video’s Wonder Project (in the U.S.).
