The Wonder Project is an American independent film and television studio in partnership with Lionsgate specializing in the production of faith-based entertainment.
The Wonder Project was founded in 2023 by director-producer Jon Erwin and former YouTube and Netflix executive Kelly Merryman Hoogstraten. [1] It received $75 million in seed funding from investors including Lionsgate, Jason Blum, United Talent Agency, and others. Dallas Jenkins was brought on board as a special adviser.
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. [2] The series was well-received and soared to the top of Amazon's viewership charts, prompting Amazon to renew it for a second of three planned seasons. [3]
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. [4] [5]
