Amazon Prime Video has finally unveiled the official trailer of Harlan Coben’s Lazarus — a brand-new psychological thriller series that promises to keep global audiences on edge. Starring Sam Claflin and Bill Nighy, the six-episode miniseries will premiere worldwide on October 22, 2025, streaming in over 240 countries and territories exclusively on Prime Video.

What Is Lazarus About?

Unlike previous Harlan Coben Netflix hits (Stay Close, Fool Me Once), Lazarus is an original story, not based on a novel.

The trailer teases a chilling, mind-bending narrative:

  • Joel Lazarus (Sam Claflin), a forensic psychologist, returns home after the suspicious death of his father, Dr. Jonathan Lazarus (Bill Nighy).
  • Strange phenomena unfold — Joel begins seeing his father’s ghost and reliving traumatic memories.
  • He is pulled into cold-case murder investigations, including the unsolved killing of his sister 25 years ago.
  • With family secrets, supernatural visions, and a town full of buried truths, Lazarus blends psychological horror, mystery, and thriller into one haunting package.
