Harlan Coben’s Lazarus Season 2: Will It Rise Again or Stay Buried?
After that jaw-dropping finale, Harlan Coben’s Lazarus hangs in the balance—will Prime Video renew it for Season 2 or swing the axe?
If you just wrapped Harlan Coben's Lazarus and are already hunting for Season 2 news, here is the state of play without the fluff: nobody has greenlit anything, and nobody has killed it either.
Where Season 2 stands right now
- Official status: not canceled, not renewed by Prime Video as of today.
- No announcements from the creators yet. Radio silence on a sophomore season.
- The show was built as a miniseries, which makes a second season unlikely. Not impossible, just a long shot.
- Any movement will depend on audience response and viewership. Season 1 just arrived, so even if they are open to more, expect them to see how it performs before making a call.
Quick refresher on the show
Lazarus is a British thriller-horror series from Harlan Coben and frequent collaborator Danny Brocklehurst. The story centers on forensic psychiatrist Dr. Joel 'Laz' Lazarus, who gets yanked back into his past after the mysterious death of his father, Dr. L. Laz initially chalks it up as a suicide, but that theory crumbles fast as he stumbles into a lethal conspiracy and starts experiencing eerie visions of people he knows are dead. It is set in the UK and mixes emotional family drama with suspense and a supernatural edge, very much in Coben's twist-happy wheelhouse with messy, complicated characters.
The cast
The series stars Bill Nighy, Alexandra Roach, Sam Claflin, Karla Crome, Kate Ashfield, Curtis Tennant, Lloyd Lai, and more.
The bottom line
If you are hoping for more after that Season 1 ender, I get it. Just don’t hold your breath. The miniseries label makes a renewal a stretch, and Prime Video will likely watch the numbers before even thinking about it. If that changes, you will hear about it, but for now, consider Lazarus a one-and-done until proven otherwise.
