According to Prime Video the company just released the trailer and key art for the upcoming film House of David that will air on Prime Video in late February. According to Prime Video The Biblical drama starring Micheal Iskander (House of David) tells the story of David and how he became “the eventual King of Israel as he takes on Goliath.” The role of Goliath will be played by Martin Ford (The Machine, F9: The Fast Saga).

Prime Video says they found Iskander after a four month international search, after he’d just come back from doing the Tony- award winning musical Kimberly Akimbo. According Broadwayworld.com Iskander is most known for his role as Usnavi and won the regional awards program Spirit of the M.A.C.Y. Awards in Orange County.

The show also contains actors such as Ali Suliman (Jack Ryan, Arthur the King) as King Saul, Ayelet Zurer (Angels And Demons, Man Of Steel) as Queen Ahinoam and Saul’s wife, and Stephen Lang (Avatar: The Way of Water, Don’t Breathe) as Samuel.

The show that was based on an idea by John Erwin (Babe, Back to the  Future pt 2) is set in Biblical times. According to Prime Video Justin Rosenblatt (Soul Survivors, Flack), Chad Oakes (Ebenezer), and Micheal Frislev (Ebenezer) are executive producers along with Erwin.

The official synopsis goes as follows: “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.”
