Harlan Coben’s Lazarus: Exactly How Many Episodes—and When You Can Watch Them
Harlan Coben’s Lazarus is set to unleash twist after twist—here’s the full episode count and release rollout so you know exactly when each revelation lands.
Harlan Coben has a new series on deck, and it sounds like one of his darker ones. 'Harlan Coben's Lazarus' is headed to Prime Video with a compact season, a binge-ready release, and a premise that leans hard into psychological horror. If you just want the when/where/how-many, I have you covered.
What is 'Lazarus' actually about?
At the center is Joel Lazarus, a psychiatrist who heads back to his hometown after his father's death and starts to come apart at the seams. He is grieving, he is seeing things, and he is not sure what is real anymore. The more he tries to run from his history (which he has been doing for years), the more he gets pulled into it: family secrets, long-buried cases, and a past that refuses to stay put.
'A man returns home after his father's suicide and begins to have disturbing experiences that can't be explained. He quickly becomes entangled in a series of cold-case murders as he grapples with the mystery of his father's death and his sister's murder 25 years ago.'

Why this one stands out
Coben's shows are usually twisty, but this one is pitched as a psychological horror thriller, which means expect fewer tidy answers and more paranoia. The shorter episodes plus a full-season drop makes it an easy one-weekend commitment, even if the subject matter (suicide, a decades-old murder, and a protagonist losing his grip) is anything but light.
Quick clarity on the schedule
In case the timing details elsewhere have sounded confusing: this is a straight binge release. All six episodes hit Prime Video on Wednesday, October 22, 2025, at launch. No waiting week-to-week.
