Hollywood goes conservative as an economic shift fuels a turn toward faith and family-based shows
Briefly

This holiday season, Amazon MGM Studios is set to release 'House of David,' a series with an epic production and global aspirations to match the breadth of its biblical source material. The Prime Video series will be the first to come out of Amazon's deal with The Wonder Project, a Christian-focused production company, for faith-based films and TV shows.

Studios head Jennifer Salke, who came on board in 2018, said she was looking for 'curated' overbroad shows and pledged to seek out projects with diverse talent.
