The Wonder Project is an American independent film and television studio in partnership with Lionsgate specializing in the production of Christian-themed entertainment.
The Wonder Project was founded in 2023 by director-producer Jon Erwin and former YouTube and Netflix executive Kelly Merryman Hoogstraten.

The company's first major production is House of David , a biblical drama about the life of David produced for Amazon Prime Video. The deal was announced in early 2024 and the series premiered in February 2025.

In 2025, the company announced a deal to create a Wonder Project subscription service as an add-on to Amazon Prime Video which will allow early access to Wonder Project productions as well as hundreds of classic titles.

It attracted 500,000 subscribers in its first three weeks. [6]
