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
