Last Thursday night, something rare and beautiful happened in Hollywood.
The Steven J. Ross Theater at Warner Bros. Studios played host to a night that felt less like a premiere and more like a move of God in Hollywood, disguised as a red-carpet screening. Over 400 guests gathered under twinkling studio lights for the exclusive debut of House of David Season 2, hosted by the Hollywood Prayer Network (HPN), The Wonder Project, and the Faith and Media Initiative.
If you were there, you know.
If you weren’t, take this as your official encouragement not to miss the next one!

Like all HPN events, the night began with community. From the moment guests stepped onto the Warner Bros. lot, there was a sense of belonging and family. Actors, producers, ministry leaders, influencers, and first-time attendees mingled under the glow of lights and cameras. Volunteers welcomed each guest with the joy and excellence that HPN has become known for.
The screening itself was powerful. The first episode of House of David Season 2 began with raw intensity, building on the cinematic excellence and emotional weight of Season 1. With visionary producers like Jon Erwin at the helm and a bold partnership with Amazon MGM, the series continues to break ground, proving that biblically-rooted storytelling can be both culturally relevant and artistically stunning.
As we watched the epic and sweeping shots cross the big screen, attendees and organizers were visibly moved. There were tears, laughter, silent prayers, and palpable moments of awe. With House of David Season 2, Episode 1, Wonder Project has spared nothing, creating a visual feast of wonder by drawing viewers into a battle of biblical proportions.

Following the screening, HPN founder Karen Covell hosted a riveting panel with breakout star Michael Iskander (David) and Senior Development Executive at Amazon MGM Studios Traci Blackwell.
Traci, in a moment that left the room hushed, declared:
“The higher I’ve climbed in my career, the bolder I’ve become for Jesus.”
It was a statement that encompassed the very mission of HPN. Industry professionals do not need to buy the lie of compromise; instead, faith, obedience, and boldness are ushering in a tidal wave of transformation in the industry. Leaders like Traci are at the forefront, and such boldness encourages others to stand firm for their faith in Hollywood, trusting that God will work through them to make an eternal difference.
Michael, too, held the audience in the palm of his hand! He shared the unforgettable story of “Puppy,” the lamb on set, and a supernatural moment where the sheep, by a miracle, followed the trail Michael walked single-file, while he carried a "bloodied" Puppy the lamb over his shoulders.
“It was as if the sheep knew to follow the blood of the lamb,” he said. The room was moved collectively by the revelation that this was more than a cute behind-the-scenes story - it was a reminder that the fingerprints of God are all over the storytelling process. It was a picture of how the Gospel message of Jesus reveals itself to each of us who are moving with Him, to tell His stories in a real way.

Guests came expecting a premiere, but they left feeling seen, filled, and inspired! We saw long-lost friends reunited, spontaneous prayer circles formed, and people of all walks of life connecting with one another. First-time attendees became part of the HPN family, and familiar friends were reminded of the unique gift it is to have Christian community in Hollywood.
Best of all, we all witnessed together how Wonder Project is "changing the game" of faith-based programming. Amazon MGM's bold move to partner with them (and shows like The Chosen) has forever changed the scope of Biblical story-telling, giving all of us hope for Hollywood!
One guest wrote after the event:
"It was my husband’s and my first ever HPN event. We felt blessed and welcomed from the moment we arrived. We’ll definitely be attending many more.”
Another reflected:
"I didn’t even know events like this existed in Hollywood. It was a reminder that God is here in the middle of media, in the middle of our careers, and in the middle of our dreams.”
