‘House of David’ Bosses Unpack the Battle of David and Goliath in the Finale and Tease Season 2 Plans
'House of David' creators Jon Erwin and Jon Gunn on the David vs. Goliath finale battle, their plans for Season 2 and how long they want the show to run.
In the final moments, young sheep herder and musician David (Michael Iskander) threw one well-aimed rock with his sling to strike the gargantuan Goliath (Martyn Ford) in the head, ending his life. Early on, the earnest young shepherd with no leadership or battle skills was unexpectedly anointed the future King of Israel by Samuel (Stephen Lang), who was following the word of God. She’s not someone who luxuriates in doing difficult things, but she is willing to do them when necessary, and the slippery slope of what you start to do with “maybe this life is less important than or more expendable than this one.” I don’t think of her at all as a villain, but ultimately into the next season, you’ll see that she fights very hard for what she believes she needs to preserve her family.
