David represents a 2025 fictional animated epic biblical musical drama featuring David from the Book of Samuel in the Old Testament. This motion picture includes voices from Phil Wickham, Brandon Engman, Asim Chaudhry, Miri Mesika, Mick Wingert, Will de Renzy-Martin, and Lauren Daigle. The production serves as a continuation of the five-part television miniseries Young David, depicting the narrative of a youthful Israelite shepherd, poet, and warrior destined to become Israel's succeeding monarch. His path extends from beyond the menace of an evil Philistine giant named Goliath to demonstrate to his populace that genuine strength originates not from royalty but through faith and liberty.
The theatrical debut occurred in the United States on December19, 2025, through Angel Studios. Critics provided largely favorable assessments while the film earned $91million, with additional international distributions planned for 2026. The picture became available on Netflix by June 3, 2026, and throughout June 5 maintained its position as the streaming service's leading film within the United States.
