A new TV show based on Samuel I, which tells the story of Israel’s legendary King David, is being set up as a biblical Game of Thrones.

The show’s creators Adam Cooper and Bill Collage promise to stay true to the biblical source material, but are still hailing the show as “a non-dragons Game of Thrones.”

The show, Of Kings And Prophets, will air on Tuesday nights starting March 8 on ABC. Originally set to be released in Fall 2015, the pilot was reshot and a new cast hired in the wake of criticism surrounding the writers’ former efforts on Ridley Scott’s Exodus: Gods and Kings, which was released in 2014.

“This show is set in 1,000 BC and it needs tender loving care,” said Cooper, explaining the delay.

At a TCA panel on Saturday, Cooper said that he and Collage “were pretty bruised by how [Exodus] came out, the criticism about whitewashing is something that matters to us very much.”
