Angel Studios’ animated biblical musical David hit the number 1 spot on Netflix just days after its June 3 streaming release, marking a major milestone for the film after its theatrical debut last December. The movie, which tells the story of a young shepherd destined to become king, stars Phil Wickham as the voice of adult David and Brandon Engman as young David.
The film follows David’s legendary journey from his humble origins through his famous confrontation with the giant Goliath, exploring themes of faith, courage, and destiny. It was originally released in theaters on December 19, 2025, by Angel Studios and earned positive reception before expanding to Netflix in June 2026.
The movie’s climb to Netflix’s top spot reflects strong audience engagement with the faith-based animated feature. Its success on the streaming platform demonstrates continued interest in biblically-inspired entertainment across family audiences.
