Our Take On The House Of David Trailer

It Can Build Off The Success Of Another Biblical Series

House of David can build off the biblical show The Chosen, which has become popular enough for episodes to be released theatrically. One challenge that the Prime Video series may have is how to keep the story compelling when everyone knows how his fight with Goliath ends. House of David's trailer indicates that this challenge will be met by focusing on David's journey instead of the destination, which makes a streaming series a better format than a movie.
