The Old Stories: Moses — Ben Kingsley Stars as Moses in House of David’s Epic 3-Part Companion Special on Prime Video
Oscar winner Ben Kingsley plays Moses in The Old Stories: Moses, a three-part House of David companion special premiering May 14, 2026 on Prime Video, with O-T Fagbenle as Pharaoh.
Oscar winner Ben Kingsley steps into one of history’s most iconic roles: The Old Stories: Moses, a three-part companion special set in the world of House of David, premieres on May 14, 2026 on Prime Video via Wonder Project.
The Story Behind the Story
Before David took the throne, the stories of those who shaped Israel were already ancient. The Old Stories: Moses opens a window into the narratives that formed a people — epic, intimate, and told through the eyes of a young shepherd who sees his own future reflected in the courage and sacrifice of those who came before him. As Moses’s story unfolds with dramatic force, the companion special deepens the entire House of David universe, rooting it in the long sweep of biblical history.
The Cast
Ben Kingsley (Gandhi, Schindler’s List) plays Moses, bringing his Oscar-winning gravitas to one of scripture’s defining figures. Opposite him, Emmy nominee O-T Fagbenle (The Handmaid’s Tale, Black Widow) plays Pharaoh. The cast also includes Louis Ferreira (House of David), Anna Khaja (The Good Place), and Rada Rae (The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping).
The Creative Team
Created by Jon Erwin — the filmmaker behind House of David, Jesus Revolution, and the upcoming Young Washington — the special is produced by Wonder Project and Amazon MGM Studios. Erwin’s vision keeps the companion special anchored in the same world and storytelling spirit as House of David, while expanding the scope to one of history’s most sweeping stories.
When and Where to Watch
The Old Stories: Moses premieres May 14, 2026 exclusively via Wonder Project on Prime Video.

Ronda Rousey vs. Gina Carano: Netflix MMA Event on May 16 Brings Two Legends Back for a Long-Awaited Showdown
Ronda Rousey and Gina Carano finally face each other on May 16, 2026 live on Netflix from the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles. The first major MMA card on Netflix features Nate Diaz, Francis Ngannou, and more on a stacked card.
One of combat sports’ most anticipated matchups is finally happening. Ronda Rousey and Gina Carano — two of the most trailblazing women in MMA history — come out of retirement to face each other on Saturday, May 16, 2026, live on Netflix. Produced by Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) and held at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles, this is the first major MMA card ever to stream on Netflix.
The Main Event: Legends Reunited
The fight is a featherweight bout at 140 lbs (63.5 kg), scheduled for five five-minute rounds under the Unified Rules of MMA. Rousey enters at 39 years old with a record of 12-2, returning for the first time since her KO loss to Amanda Nunes in December 2016. Carano, 44 years old and 7-1, makes her comeback nearly 17 years after losing to Cris Cyborg in the first-ever women’s main event in major MMA. Rousey enters as a heavy -600 favorite, with Carano at +425.
What’s at Stake
There is no title on the line — this fight is about pride, legacy, and bragging rights. For Rousey, it’s a chance to reclaim her love for the sport on her own terms after years away. For Carano, who became widely known to a new generation as Cara Dune in The Mandalorian, it’s an opportunity to remind the world that she was a genuine fighting pioneer long before the acting roles. “I’m not fighting Ronda just to say I fought Ronda Rousey. I’m fighting to win,” Carano told ESPN.
Full Main Card
The stacked card includes some of the biggest names in MMA history. Beyond the main event, Francis Ngannou faces Philipe Lins in a heavyweight matchup, and fan favorites Nate Diaz and Mike Perry collide in what promises to be a fireworks-filled co-main event. Salahdine Parnasse vs. Kenneth Cross and Junior Dos Santos vs. Robelis Despaigne round out the main card.
How to Watch
The main card streams live on Netflix at no additional cost for all subscribers, beginning at 9 PM ET (1:00 AM GMT Sunday). The preliminary card starts at 6 PM ET and streams on Netflix Tudum. This marks a major expansion for Netflix into live sports and combat sports programming.
A Historic Night for Women’s MMA
Both Rousey and Carano helped build the foundation of women’s MMA before it was mainstream. Carano was there at the very beginning, headlining Strikeforce in 2009. Rousey turned the sport into a global phenomenon through the UFC in the early 2010s. Seeing them finally share the same cage — over a decade after fans dreamed of this fight — makes May 16 a genuinely historic night for the sport.

On the Roam Season 2: Jason Momoa Returns to HBO Max on May 14 for New Adventures in Art, Craft, and Culture
Jason Momoa’s cinematic docuseries On the Roam returns for Season 2 on HBO Max starting May 14, 2026. Six new episodes explore art, craftsmanship, motorcycles, and music across America, featuring Kirk Hammett, Julian Schnabel, and more.
Jason Momoa is back on the road. On the Roam Season 2 premieres May 14, 2026 on HBO Max, bringing the Aquaman star’s cinematic docuseries back to screens for six new episodes. Following a successful first season, Momoa continues his journey across America chasing artistry, craftsmanship, and the unforgettable human stories behind them.
What Is On the Roam?
On the Roam is a documentary series created by and starring Jason Momoa, who serves as executive producer alongside longtime collaborator Brian Andrew Mendoza. Each episode immerses viewers in a different corner of American creative culture — from motorcycle builders and visual artists to musicians and off-grid makers. The series is distinguished by its cinematic production quality and Momoa’s genuine, unscripted connection with every person he meets.
What to Expect in Season 2
Season 2 expands the original formula with six new episodes, each centered on different craftspeople and artistic disciplines. Among the new faces joining Momoa on his travels are renowned visual artist and director Julian Schnabel, punk rock outfit The Bobby Lees, and Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett. The season deepens the show’s exploration of motorcycle culture, music, and visual arts while introducing fresh creative worlds for viewers to discover.
Release Schedule
The six-episode season rolls out weekly on HBO Max, with new episodes dropping through June 18, 2026. This episodic release model gives fans something to look forward to each week while allowing each story to breathe on its own terms. Momoa himself described returning to the series as “an absolute honor,” adding that working with Warner Bros. Discovery and Max on another season is “a dream come true.”
Why It Stands Out
In a streaming landscape crowded with celebrity travel shows, On the Roam carves its own lane. What sets it apart is Momoa’s authentic curiosity — he isn’t just visiting artisans, he’s genuinely invested in their craft and philosophy. The series feels personal and unscripted, making each encounter feel like a real conversation rather than a produced segment. For fans of art, motorcycles, music, or simply great human storytelling, Season 2 delivers on every level.
Where to Watch
On the Roam Season 2 is streaming exclusively on HBO Max starting May 14, 2026. New episodes premiere weekly through June 18. An HBO Max subscription is required to stream.

35 Countries, One Stage
A total of 35 countries are competing in Eurovision 2026, following five nations’ withdrawal from this year’s contest in protest over issues related to the ongoing conflict involving Israel’s participation. Despite the controversy, the event has proceeded as one of television’s most-watched annual spectacles, drawing tens of millions of viewers across Europe and beyond.
Where to Watch in the US
American audiences can watch the Eurovision Song Contest 2026 Grand Final on Peacock, NBCUniversal’s streaming platform, as well as on the official Eurovision YouTube channel, which streams all shows live and free worldwide.

A Milestone Year for Europe’s Favorite Contest
Celebrating its 70th anniversary, Eurovision 2026 is a landmark moment for one of the world’s longest-running live television events.
