David: King of Israel, a four-part docudrama for FOX Nation’s FOX Faith vertical, is set to premiere in Q1 of next year.
Hosted by Zachary Levi, the weekly series will tell the story of the shepherd boy turned king of Israel via reenactments and commentary. Created by Warm Springs Productions, the show’s executive producers include David L. Cunningham, Marc Pierce, Chris Richardson, and Bridger Pierce.
Lauren Petterson, the president of FOX Nation, commented, “Zachary Levi was a natural fit for this series. His sincerity and connection to the material allow King David’s story to come alive in a way that feels relevant to today’s viewers. Highlighting faith, redemption, and extraordinary purpose, we’re honored to bring this story to FOX Nation with Zachary at the helm.”
Levi added: “Aside from the account of Christ, the story of David is the most powerful in all of scripture. In fact, one might argue that it’s even more powerful in some ways, given that David was fully human, and therefore flawed, like us, making his journey more relatable to our own. It’s a story I’ve wanted to be a part of telling ever since I was a child, so it was such a blessing being a part of this production.”
