Must-see! Harlan Coben’s new thriller Lazarus gets gripping trailer with Sam Claflin

by

Fans of Harlan Coben have a new thriller to look forward to! The first trailer for his upcoming psychological thriller, *Lazarus*, has just dropped.

The Prime Video series stars Sam Claflin and Bill Nighy and centers on psychiatrist Joel Lazarus. He returns to his childhood home after the apparent suicide of his father, Dr. Jonathan Lazarus.

I’m totally hooked on this story! It’s about a guy who’s starting to think his dad didn’t just die of natural causes – he suspects he was actually murdered. And what’s even more unsettling is he’s wondering if it has something to do with his sister, Sutton, who died a long time ago, like 25 years ago. It’s a really compelling mystery!

What to Read Next

I’m really hooked on this show! It follows Joel as he digs into these old, unsolved cases, but it’s getting seriously creepy. He keeps having these bizarre visions that just come out of nowhere, and honestly, it’s starting to make *him* doubt what’s real. It’s a really unsettling feeling watching him try to figure things out while questioning his own mind.

Alexandra Roach will play Joel’s sister, Jenna Lazarus, in *Harlan Coben’s Lazarus*. The cast also includes David Fynn as Seth McGovern, Karla Crome as Bella Catton, and Kate Ashfield as Detective Alison Brown.

The trailer begins with an unsettling dialogue between Joel and someone receiving treatment at a mental hospital.

So, this guy is saying he has a direct line to God, which is…intense. But what’s really weird is he seems to have it out for Joel and his dad, even calling Joel a ‘fake’! It’s just strange and a little unsettling, honestly.

“Like father, like son,” he continues, adding that he’d asked God to punish Lazarus.

The scene shifts to a phone call where Joel learns from his sister, Jenna, that their father has unexpectedly passed away.

Joel is suspicious about how his father died and becomes fixated on a note Jonathan left behind, which seems to suggest it wasn’t a simple suicide. The strange note features a drawing of a table and the unsettling message, “It’s not over.”

Joel shared his idea with a friend, explaining that he’d begun seeing visions of people who had died – he called them “ghosts.”

Joel says he’s been seeing deceased people, appearing to him as vividly as he’s seeing the person he’s talking to now. He insists they were all murder victims.

Everything I know tells me this isn’t real-it has to be a hallucination. But I’m actually seeing them.

Haunted by his father’s death and unsure if he’s simply grieving or if something supernatural is at play, Joel desperately seeks answers from his father’s ghost about what truly happened the night he died.

No matter what path he takes, Joel is in a race against time to clear his name after stumbling upon a murder investigation.

Harlan Coben’s *Lazarus* was created by Coben and Danny Brocklehurst (who also worked on *Fool Me Once*), with additional contributions from Nicola Shindler (*Happy Valley*) and Richard Fee and Claflin (*The Stranger*).

All six episodes of Harlan Coben’s Lazarus will be released on 22 October on Prime Video.
