Wonder Project is teaming up with Sight & Sound to stream the faith-based theater company’s most extensive collection of biblical productions ever offered on a third-party platform, with new titles rolling out roughly every two weeks beginning July 30.
“Few organizations have earned the level of trust and lasting connection with audiences that Sight & Sound has built over generations,” said Ani Haftvani, senior vice president of programming and content acquisitions at Wonder Project. “Their productions have become part of family traditions and a milestone experience for kids growing up across the country. We’re honored to celebrate that legacy with a season of exclusive SVOD premieres, giving Wonder audiences new opportunities to experience these stories together throughout the fall.”
Sight & Sound has spent nearly 50 years staging biblical epics at its theaters in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and Branson, Missouri. The family-owned company draws close to 2 million guests a year and has built one of the most recognizable names in faith-based entertainment.
The lineup heading to Wonder Project includes JESUS, RUTH, MOSES, NOAH – 30TH ANNIVERSARY, QUEEN ESTHER, DAVID, SAMSON, DANIEL and MIRACLE OF CHRISTMAS. Several titles will come with behind-the-scenes extras, and the library also includes THE STORY OF SIGHT & SOUND, a documentary tracing the company’s origins.

“There’s something special about getting to partner with like-minded organizations using their platforms to spread messages of hope to a hope-hungry world,” said Katie Miller, vice president of brand development at Sight & Sound. “We’re grateful for this new partnership and cannot wait to begin bringing these powerful stories to life for Wonder audiences and their families across the country!”
Movieguide® has followed Sight & Sound’s growth for years, from its stage anniversaries to its move into film. The company’s first movie, I HEARD THE BELLS, opened in theaters, and its most recent, A GREAT AWAKENING, a Revolutionary-era drama about evangelist George Whitefield and Benjamin Franklin, is already streaming on Wonder Project ahead of this larger deal.
Wonder Project itself launched in 2023, founded by director Jon Erwin and former Netflix executive Kelly Merryman Hoogstraten to build a home for faith-and-values programming. Its biggest swing so far, HOUSE OF DAVID, became the No. 1 show on Prime Video and pulled in more than 40 million viewers, and the company has since renewed it for a third season.
Adding Sight & Sound’s back catalog gives Wonder Project’s subscription service a deeper well of tested, multigenerational storytelling to pair with its originals. The service runs $8.99 a month or $89.99 a year through Prime Video after a seven-day free trial, and Sight & Sound titles start streaming there July 30.
For families looking for entertainment that doesn’t require a second screening for content, this kind of partnership matters. Sight & Sound built its reputation on telling scripture straight, without cynicism or filler, and Wonder Project’s decision to lean into that library says something about where the company thinks its audience wants to go next.
