Eight-part epic drama House of David brings the quintessential underdog tale to life, tracing the Abrahamic prophet’s (Michael Iskander) rise from under-appreciated shepherd boy to slayer of Goliath and messianic king when it hits screens on Thursday, February 27.
An Amazon Prime original, the series will land exclusively on Prime Video around the world.
The 3,000-year-old parable of David and Goliath was intended to illustrate the decline of King Saul (Ali Suliman), the ugliness of the Philistines and, above all, the power of faith but, more than anything, it's come to encapsulate hope – that even the most daunting of odds, the most powerful and lavishly-provisioned of enemies, can be beaten.
Also starring Ayelet Zurer as Queen Ahinoam, Stephen Lang as Samuel, and Martyn Ford as Goliath, here's how to watch House of David.
How to watch House of David around the world
If you want to watch House of David, you'll have to sign up for Amazon Prime. That's because all of the new episodes will land on Prime Video.
Prime Video is Amazon's streaming offering, and you have to be a subscriber to Amazon Prime to watch its movies and shows.
This costs $14.99 / £8.99 / AU$9.99 per month or $139 / £95 / AU$79 per year but by default, Prime Video has ads, and you can pay $2.99 / £2.99 per month extra for ad-free streaming.
In some countries, you can take out a standalone Prime Video subscription, which is cheaper and gives you just the streaming services, and not the quick delivery or other perks.
If you've never been an Amazon Prime customer before, then you'll be happy to know that there's a one-month free trial.
Amazon Prime is available in most countries around the world, but if you find yourself somewhere where it's blocked, a VPN can help you access your subscription from anywhere. More details below.

Our favorite is NordVPN, which is the No. 1-rated VPN in the world right now according to our sister site, TechRadar.
