If you follow Coben’s TV work, this one is different. “Lazarus” is an original story he created with Danny Brocklehurst, not a book adaptation. All six episodes arrive at once. Below you will find the key details so you can plan a binge or set a reminder.
Release date and how to watch
Prime Video will drop all six episodes on Wednesday, October 22, 2025. The series streams in more than 240 countries and territories for Prime members.
What “Lazarus” is about
Sam Claflin plays Joel Lazarus, a forensic psychologist who returns home after his father’s apparent suicide. He starts to experience things he cannot explain. That personal mystery forces him to dig into the past, including long-cold cases tied to his family.
Cast and characters
The show centers on Joel and his father, Dr. Jonathan Lazarus, played by Bill Nighy. Alexandra Roach co-stars as Joel’s sister Jenna. The ensemble also includes Karla Crome, David Fynn, and Kate Ashfield, among others.
Who is making it
Coben co-created and co-wrote the series with Brocklehurst, a frequent collaborator. Quay Street Productions produces with Final Twist Productions and Amazon MGM Studios. Executive producers include Harlan Coben, Danny Brocklehurst, Nicola Shindler, Richard Fee, Wayne Che Yip, and Sam Claflin. Wayne Che Yip directs early episodes.
Trailer and first-look material
Prime Video has released first-look photos and a trailer that tees up Joel’s visions and the cold-case thread.
Episode count and format
“Lazarus” runs six episodes. It is a limited series designed to tell a complete story in one season.
Why this project matters for Coben fans
Most of Coben’s recent hits came from adapting his novels. “Lazarus” is a chance to see an original idea developed for TV from the start. It also marks another Prime Video outing after “Shelter,” which signals where his next wave of projects may land.
