Wonder Project has announced “The Old Stories: Moses,” a three-part companion special set in the world of “House of David,” along with a new trailer and first-look images, including Moses’ standoff with Pharaoh. 

Produced by Wonder Project and Amazon MGM Studios, the series is created by filmmaker Jon Erwin and stars Ben Kingsley as Moses and O-T Fagbenle as Pharaoh. The project is set to premiere on Wonder Project’s subscription channel on Prime Video in the United States this spring, with a global rollout to follow at a later date.

“Moses is one of the most iconic figures in history, and his story still resonates with us today,” Erwin said in a statement shared with The Christian Post. “We set out to tell 'The Old Stories: Moses' with a cinematic awe and scale that feels both epic and personal. I am especially proud of the cast performances, and I can’t wait for people to see it on Wonder Project.”

The three-part special expands the universe of House of David, exploring events that shaped Israel before David’s rise to the throne. The story follows a young shepherd who sees his own future reflected in the courage, failures and obedience of those who came before him.

Additional cast members include Louis Ferreira, Anna Khaja and Rada Rae.

In the trailer for the series, Moses is shown standing before the burning bush as described in Exodus 3.

“I heard a voice,” Kingsley’s Moses says. “He knew my name. He told me I must return to Egypt, to the place of my birth, to where my people are in bondage, slaves.”

The trailer also shows a series of key moments in Moses’ story, including Pharaoh’s daughter discovering baby Moses in a basket in the river, his standoff with Pharaoh as he commands the Egyptian leader to “let my people go,” and the parting of the Red Sea and the 12 plagues.

Erwin serves as director, writer and executive producer of the series. Jon Gunn and Justin Rosenblatt also executive produce for Wonder Project, with Gavin J. Behrman as co-executive producer and Adam Abel as producer.

In a recent interview with CP, Gunn emphasized the importance of maintaining authenticity in faith-based and biblical epics, a quality he emphasized is essential to the genre’s success.

“The purity is what makes it work,” he said. “Studios often try to duplicate authenticity, but it doesn’t have the soul. We focus on what we call ‘epic authenticity,’ stories with real emotional truth, made with genuine passion.”

“If I don’t feel moved by it, I don’t want to make it,” Gunn said. “We look for stories that make you want to tell your friends, ‘You have to see this.’”

He added that audiences, and particularly those of faith, are quick to recognize when a story lacks sincerity.

“They’re smart,” Gunn said. “You can feel if someone is trying to sell you something versus something that’s pure and authentic.”

The three-part special will premiere this spring. Watch the trailer below.
