The new service, called Wonder Project, will be available for $8.99 a month and will debut with over 1,000 hours of curated content. The slate will include exclusive original productions by Wonder Project, a library of faith- and family-friendly programming and the second season of the biblical drama “House of David.”
Wonder Project aims to fill a gap in the streaming market by “entertaining the world with courageous stories, inspiring hope and restoring faith in things worth believing in.”
The channel’s executives say the success of projects like ‘The Chosen’ and ‘Jesus Revolution’ created the space for their endeavor.
Kelly Merryman Hoogstraten, the company’s CEO, told Variety, “Great films and TV shows bring families, friends and communities together and drive meaningful connection in a world that is craving connection.”
Season two of “House of David” — a Wonder Project and Amazon MGM Studios production — will premiere exclusively on the new subscription service when it launches, before becoming available on Prime Video more broadly at a later date.
The first season of the biblical epic reached more than 40 million viewers worldwide and debuted as one of the top 10 new series on Prime Video in the U.S.
Other project titles in the pipeline include “Sarah’s Oil,” “The Breadwinner,” and “Flyer,”
