Prime Video has unveiled details about an intriguing new thriller by Harlan Coben, revealing its release date and a sneak peek.
Renowned writer Coben, known for adapting his bestsellers into screen hits, has partnered with Amazon for his latest project, “Lazarus,” promising his signature unexpected twists. Unlike his previous adaptations, “Lazarus” is an original story co-written by Coben and BAFTA winner Danny Brocklehurst.
The plot centers on Joel Lazarus, portrayed by Sam Claflin, who returns home after his father’s death, played by Bill Nighy, only to encounter inexplicable occurrences. As Joel delves into his father’s mysterious demise and his sister’s unsolved murder from 25 years ago, he becomes embroiled in a series of cold-case murders.
Joining the cast are Alexandra Roach as Jenna Lazarus, David Fynn as Seth McGovern, Karla Crome as Bella Catton, and Kate Ashfield as Detective Alison Brown. Fans can anticipate the series landing on Amazon’s streaming platform on October 22, offering a gripping mystery thriller experience.
Coben described “Lazarus” as a story he envisioned for TV rather than a novel, highlighting its ghostly elements and visual appeal. Brocklehurst added that the series is a psychological thriller rich in emotional depth, exploring themes of family bonds and tragedy while delivering unexpected twists.
Lead actor Claflin teased the complexity of the storyline, hinting at its captivating nature that leaves viewers craving more. Excitement among fans is palpable, with Coben’s teaser images of the cast on social media generating anticipation for the mind-bending thriller’s imminent release.
“Lazarus” is set to premiere on Prime Video from October 22, promising viewers a compelling and suspenseful viewing experience.
