House of David

Type: Episodic series (biblical epic) Production: The Wonder Project (Jon Erwin + Kelly Merryman Hoogstraten) + Amazon MGM Studios Distribution: Amazon Prime Video Status: Season 2 premiered March 2026

Overview

Biblical epic series depicting King David's story, produced by faith-based filmmaker Jon Erwin (The Chosen, I Can Only Imagine). Notable as first documented major streaming series to integrate AI video generation as planned production workflow rather than experimental backup.

AI Production Integration

Season 1 (2024):

  • 73 AI-generated shots out of 850 total VFX shots
  • AI used as backup solution, not planned workflow

Season 2 (2026):

  • 253 AI-generated shots — 3.5x increase
  • Over 100 shots used for virtual production LED panel environments
  • AI planned as workflow from production start
  • Tools: Runway, Luma, Kling, Topaz, Magnific, Midjourney, Google Nano Banana and Flash
  • Traditional tools: Unreal Engine, Nuke, Adobe Photoshop, After Effects
  • Used for: expansive battle scenes, horse close-ups, weather effects, virtual production environments

Production Workflow:

  • "For every VFX shot in the show, they generate 20 times that"
  • Batches of AI content given to editorial to sift through like traditional footage
  • Only shots that make the cut get upscaled to final quality
  • Director philosophy: "If it's AI-detectable, you've failed"

Key Personnel

  • Jon Erwin — Director, The Wonder Project co-founder
  • Kelly Merryman Hoogstraten — The Wonder Project co-founder
  • Chris del Conte — Amazon MGM Global Head of VFX (collaborated from January 2025)
