In a compelling move, Prime Video has given the nod to “Lazarus” (working title), an upcoming limited series crafted by Quay Street Productions, the brilliant minds behind Netflix’s captivating “Fool Me Once.” With an ensemble cast featuring Sam Claflin of “Daisy Jones & The Six” fame, the legendary Bill Nighy from “Living,” and the talented Alexandra Roach known for her role in “Killing Eve,” “Lazarus” promises to be a riveting addition to Prime Video’s lineup.
Crafted from the original story concept by acclaimed author Harlan Coben and Danny Brocklehurst, the series takes viewers on a gripping journey. “Lazarus” unfolds the narrative of a man returning home following his father’s tragic demise, only to encounter inexplicable and disturbing occurrences.
As he grapples with the mystery surrounding his father’s death and his sister’s unsolved murder 25 years ago, he becomes ensnared in a web of cold-case murders.
Set to be exclusively streamed on Prime Video across more than 240 countries and territories worldwide, “Lazarus” boasts Sam Claflin as Laz, a respected forensic psychologist who confronts his painful past upon returning home, reports Deadline.
The psychological depth of the series is heightened by Bill Nighy’s portrayal of Doctor Lazarus (Dr L), adding charm, dry humor, and charisma to the character. In death, Dr L seeks to convey the profound similarity between father and son.
Alexandra Roach steps into the role of Jenna Lazarus, a character deeply entrenched in spiritual practices since her sister’s tragic murder. However, Laz’s return home unravels unexplained phenomena, forcing Jenna to confront buried secrets from her own past.
Quay Street Productions and Amazon MGM Studios, in collaboration with Final Twist Productions, bring “Lazarus” to life. Sam Claflin, in addition to his acting prowess, serves as an executive producer, elevating the series to greater heights.
As anticipation builds for “Lazarus,” Prime Video continues to captivate global audiences with its commitment to delivering compelling and thought-provoking content. Get ready for a psychological thriller that will leave an indelible mark.
