The Wonder Project is an American independent film and television studio in partnership with Lionsgate specializing in the production of faith-based entertainment. It was founded in 2023 the Erwin Brothers (Jon and Andrew Erwin), Kevin Downes, and Tony Young and has operations in Nashville, Tennessee, and Los Angeles, California.

The Wonder Project was founded by director-producer Jon Erwin and former YouTube and Netflix executive Kelly Merryman Hoogstraten.[1] It received $75 million in seed funding from investors including Lionsgate, Jason Blum, United Talent Agency, and others. Dallas Jenkins was brought on board as a special adviser.

The company's first major production is House of David, a biblical drama about the life of David produced for Amazon Prime Video. The deal was announced in early 2024 and the series premiered in February 2025.[2] The series was well-received and soared to the top of Amazon's viewership charts, prompting Amazon to renew it for a second of three planned seasons.[3]

In 2025, the company announced a deal to create a Wonder Project subscription service as an add-on to Amazon Prime Video which will allow early access to Wonder Project productions as well as hundreds of classic titles.[4][5]

Projects in production include a theatrical film entitled Sarah's Oil, releasing November 7, 2025 via Amazon MGM Studios; The Breadwinner, starring Nate Bargatze; a drama series called It's Not Like That starring Scott Foley and Erinn Hayes in partnership with Amazon MGM Studios; Young Washington, a feature film produced with Angel Studios about the early life of George Washington; and Flyer, a film about the Wright brothers.[6]
