For Michael Iskander, the virtual unknown who was cast as the Biblical King David following a four-month international search, there’s a parallel with his own life. Prior to this major career breakthrough, the 23-year-old actor was fresh off his role in Broadway’s Tony Award-winning Best Musical “Kimberly Akimbo.”

House of David has finally arrived today (Thursday, February 27) with audiences getting the first three episodes to binge on. The eight-part series will then be dropping weekly on Thursdays with fans having an agonising wait for the next instalment.
