Sam Claflin Anchors a Haunting Lazarus Trailer from Prime Video

Sep 23

Prime Video just dropped the trailer for their upcoming psychological thriller series, Lazarus, and it wastes no time showcasing its chilly, reality-bending tone.

The footage introduces Joel Lazarus, played by Sam Claflin, a man who returns home after the death of his father, eminent physician Dr. Jonathan Lazarus, portrayed by Bill Nighy. Grief curdles into suspicion as Joel’s world starts to misfire—unnerving visions, fragmented memories, and hints that his father’s past is wired into a web of old crimes that never found answers.

Cast highlights extend beyond the lead duo. Alexandra Roach appears in a pivotal role, with additional players including David Fynn, Karla Crome, and Kate Ashfield, rounding out a roster that suggests both family friction and institutional secrets. The series comes from Harlan Coben and Danny Brocklehurst, a pairing known for twisty, drama-heavy storytelling, but here, the hook isn’t just who did what, but whether Joel can trust what he’s seeing long enough to follow the thread.

The trailer also uses its brief runtime to preview its preference for creeping dread over jump scares. Quick, disorienting cuts flash between intimate domestic spaces and low-lit, fuzzy corridors, with voiceover fragments and police-file imagery setting the pace. It’s the kind of tease that tilts the mystery toward the psychological without abandoning the crime spine.

All six episodes of Lazarus arrive on Prime Video on October 22, 2025, dropping day-and-date globally. Mark it as a one-sitting binge or a carefully portioned slow burn; either way, the trailer suggests a series that wants to keep you guessing about the monster in the story—whether it’s a person, a secret, or the mind itself.
