Harlan Coben's dark new crime drama releases first-look images featuring Love Actually legend
The Prime Video series Lazarus stars Bill Nighy and Sam Claflin.
A first set of images have been released for Lazarus, the highly anticipated new Prime Video thriller from Fool Me Once and Missing You writer Harlan Coben.
The pictures give us first looks at Bill Nighy (Love Actually) as Dr Jonathan Lazarus, Sam Claflin (Peaky Blinders) as Joel Lazarus, David Fynn (Am I Being Unreasonable?) as Seth McGovern and Alexandra Roach (Nightsleeper) as Jenna Lazarus.
You can see a selection of the new imagery throughout this article.
Other actors set to feature across the series include Karla Crome (Toxic Town) as Bella Catton, Kate Ashfield (Shaun of the Dead) as Detective Alison Brown and Roisin Gallagher (The Lovers).
Unlike all of Coben's previous British and American TV projects, Lazarus isn't based on one of his novels, but is instead from an original script he has written alongside Danny Brocklehurst.
Alongside the release of the images, Prime Video also confirmed the release date for the series, with all six episodes set to arrive on the streamer on Wednesday 22nd October 2025.
The official synopsis for Lazarus says that it "follows Joel Lazarus (Claflin) who returns home after his father Dr Jonathan Lazarus (Nighy) dies by suicide and begins to have disturbing experiences that can't be explained".
It continues: "He quickly becomes entangled in a series of cold-case murders as he grapples with the mystery of his father's death and his sister's murder 25 years ago."
Lazarus isn't the only Coben project fans can look forward to - there is also an adaptation of his novel Run Away coming up, which will stream on Netflix and star James Nesbitt, Ellie de Lange, Ruth Jones, Minnie Driver, Alfred Enoch, Lucian Msamati and Jon Pointing, amongst others.
That series will follow a man whose troubled daughter runs away and goes missing, leaving his life in tatters, but who later reappears having developed a drug addiction and become embroiled in a dangerous underworld.
