Prime Video’s Sleeper Hit Historical Drama Is Back to Dominating the Charts

by

A surprising hit on Prime Video from 2025 is climbing the streaming charts again, possibly hinting at a third season. The show is performing strongly just two months after its second season ended.

Prime Video’s historical drama, House of David, is gaining popularity again, as viewers eagerly await news about a possible third season. Currently at No. 4 on Prime Video’s list of most-watched shows in the U.S., the series – all sixteen episodes of which are available for streaming – has been a consistent top ten hit for several days, proving its unexpected success even after the latest episode aired months ago.

The historical drama House of David launched in 2025 with two seasons. Inspired by the biblical stories of King David of Israel and his family, the show depicts key events like his battle with Goliath and his rise to power. The second season focuses on the final years of King Saul’s rule, as he struggles with mental illness and growing jealousy towards David, fearing David will take his throne and start a new royal line. Currently, the latest season is only available to Amazon Prime Video subscribers who also have the WonderProject add-on, but it will soon be accessible to all Prime Video members.

As a huge fan, I’m constantly checking for news on a potential third season! While nothing’s been officially confirmed yet, everything points to it happening – the show is doing incredibly well on streaming. I get the sense Amazon wants to have the whole season available before giving the green light. From what I’ve heard, Season 3 would likely focus on Saul’s tragic end and David becoming king. It could be the finale, but honestly, House of David has so much potential! They could really expand the story and follow David’s family line through generations, starting with Solomon and exploring the history of Israel and Judah. It’d be amazing if it continued beyond that, honestly!

House of David Is Part of a Wider Shift in Modern Media

The unexpected popularity of House of David reflects a growing interest in stories from the Bible. Several new independent film studios are now focused on bringing these stories to life with both historical accuracy and compelling drama, like the multi-season series that portrays the life of Jesus Christ from the perspective of his disciples.

The popularity of The Chosen sparked a surge in Bible-related entertainment, with several projects gaining large followings in recent years. Angel Studios has been a leader in this area, creating successful movies like His Only Son and other TV shows based on or inspired by the Bible. As The Chosen nears its conclusion, Angel Studios is developing new content to continue this trend, including a series about the Book of Acts and an animated show.

Recent months have seen Bible stories perform well at the box office. The animated film David, which recounts the life of King David, is currently in theaters and doing well, even with limited international distribution. It had the biggest opening weekend of any animated movie based on faith, hinting that we might see more films like it in the future.

Given its current success, it’s very probable that House of David will be renewed for a third season on Prime Video. The show is already performing well despite not being fully available to all Amazon subscribers, suggesting it’s poised to become a major hit once the second season reaches a larger audience.

House of David is available to stream on Prime Video.
