Prime Video to release Harlan Coben's Lazarus globally Oct 22, 2025

Prime Video will release all six episodes of Harlan Coben's Lazarus on Oct. 22, 2025, a global launch that reunites the bestselling mystery writer with screenwriter Danny Brocklehurst and stars Sam Claflin as Joel Lazarus and Bill Nighy as his father, Dr. Jonathan Lazarus. The limited series, produced by Amazon MGM Studios in partnership with Quay Street Productions and Final Twist Productions, is being billed as a twisty, emotionally charged thriller that blends cold case detective work with supernatural undertones.

Claflin plays a forensic psychologist who has distanced himself from his hometown and family after an unresolved childhood trauma. He returns when his father appears to have died by suicide and begins experiencing disturbing, unexplainable encounters. Those events pull him into a web of cold cases that include the unsolved murder of his sister two and a half decades earlier. Reports varied on the exact timing of that earlier killing, with accounts describing it as occurring either 24 or 25 years ago. The series explores how that night continues to haunt Joel and the people who were present.
