The Wonder Project‘s subscription offering on Amazon Prime Video is off to a strong start. Variety has learned exclusively that there have been over 500,000 subscription signups in the first three weeks since launch, with subscriptions becoming available on Oct. 5. Family and drama have been the two most popular genres, with titles like “House of David” Season 2, “The Bible” mini-series, and “Jesus Revolution” being among the most popular, per Wonder Project. Other popular titles include movies like “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty,” “The Sound of Music,” “Charlotte’s Web,” “American Underdog,” “An Interview with God,” and “Something’s Gotta Give,” the last of which stars the late Diane Keaton. Wonder Project offers what they call “Edited Versions of Movie Favorites.” That means that movies available via the subscription are available as is or as TV-edited versions as would typically be shown on broadcast or basic cable to highlight the company’s commitment to family co-viewing. The launch of the Wonder Project subscription coincided with the Season 2 premiere of the Biblical epic series “House of David.” That show remains the most popular offering, while Wonder Project says that excluding that show, 60% of viewing has been for TV series and 40% has been movies. 95% of all titles in their catalogue have been sampled since launch, with 80% of viewing occurring in the living room. Remaining viewership is divided between mobile, tablet and web. “The data confirms what we believed: millions of people have been waiting for exactly this. Faith is an audience, not a genre—and our viewing patterns prove it,” said Kelly Merryman Hoogstraten, the CEO of Wonder Project. “They’re watching comedy, drama, documentaries, everything. ‘House of David’ brought them through the door, but they’re staying for the hundred-plus titles we’ve curated. Here’s what delighted me: the vast majority are watching in the living room. On the big screen. Together. As a mom of three, I know how rare that is—finding something everyone actually wants to watch! “We’re seeing strong engagement across the country in just our first few weeks,” Hoogstraten continued. “This isn’t a niche audience—it’s a national movement of families who want entertainment that strengthens rather than strains their values. Families are gathering again. They’re choosing shared experiences over separate screens. That’s what we built Wonder to deliver, and that’s exactly what’s happening.”
