First Look at ‘Harlan Coben’s Lazarus’ Sees Sam Claflin Probe Father’s Mysterious Death

Sam Claflin plays Joel Lazarus, a forensic psychologist investigating his father’s suicide, only to become entangled in a slew of cold case murders, in the first look images for Harlan Coben’s Lazarus for Amazon’s Prime Video released on Wednesday.

The limited series, which sees the team behind Netflix’s hit Fool Me Once reunite, is based on an original idea from prolific author Harlan Coben and Danny Brocklehurst, who wrote the drama together. The series is Coben’s second at Prime Video after his first, Shelter, was canceled. In addition to Fool Me Once, Coben and Brocklehurst previously worked together on Stay Close and The Stranger at Netflix. 

All six episodes of Harlan Coben’s Lazarus will debut Oct. 22 on Prime Video in over 240 countries and territories worldwide. Bill Nighy plays Dr. Jonathan Lazarus, father of Claflin’s character, Lazarus, who begins to have disturbing experiences that cannot be explained as he quickly becomes ensnared in solving a series of cold-case murders.

That forces Lazarus to grapple with the mystery of his father’s death and his sister’s murder 25 years earlier. Additional cast includes Alexandra Roach as Jenna Lazarus, David Fynn as Seth McGovern, Karla Crome as Bella Catton, and Kate Ashfield as Detective Alison Brown.

Harlan Coben’s Lazarus is executive produced by Coben, Brocklehurst, Nicola Shindler, Richard Fee, Claflin and Wayne Che Yip, the latter who also directs the first two episodes. Matt Strevens produces from Amazon MGM Studios and Quay Street Productions, in association with Final Twist Productions.
