Sky has set a November premiere date and released the official trailer for Season 2 of the brilliant time-bending BAFTA-winning drama ‘The Lazarus Project‘ from Joe Barton starring Paapa Essiedu.
The riveting, propulsive and action-packed 8-part series is a timely and affecting exploration of the desire to take charge of your own fate. Season one introduced us to George (Paapa Essiedu) who woke up one day and found himself reliving a day from months ago. All of his recent milestones had been undone, including his success at work and his marriage to the love of his life Sarah (Charly Clive). Worst of all, he seemed to be the only one who’d noticed what had happened… That was until he met Archie (Anjli Mohindra), who recruited George for the Lazarus Project – a secret organisation that has harnessed the ability to turn back time every time the world is at threat of extinction.
When the world locks into a never-ending time loop that will ultimately end with the planet’s complete extinction, the Lazarus team must race against time to find a solution before humanity is wiped out forever. Among their number is resolute Lazarus agent, George (Paapa Essiedu), who’s been left in disgrace after betraying the organisation in the name of love.
George is determined to redeem himself and win back the trust of his friends, colleagues, and the love of his life. But when he discovers that the cause he’s fighting is more sinister than it appears, George begins to suspect that the only person he can really trust is himself.
The epic, action-packed second series is led by Emmy and BAFTA-nominated Pappa Essiedu (I May Destroy You, Gangs of London), with Anjli Mohindra (Bodyguard, Vigil), Charly Clive (Pure), Vinette Robinson (Boiling Point), Rudi Dharmalingam (Wakefield), Caroline Quentin and Tom Burke (Strike) all reprising their roles.
Joining the cast in the second series are Royce Pierreson (The Irregulars, The Witcher), Colin Salmon (Resident Evil, Limitless), Safia Oakley-Green (Sherwood), Lorne MacFayden (Vigil), Zoe Telford (Genius), Sam Troughton (The Outlaws) and James Atherton (Hollyoaks).
‘The Lazarus Project’ is produced by Urban Myth Films, in association with Sky Studios, and has been created and written by BAFTA-nominated Joe Barton (Giri / Haji). It was commissioned by Sky Studios for Sky Max. Paul Gilbert is the Commissioning Editor for Sky Studios. NBCUniversal Global Distribution handles international sales of the series on behalf of Sky Studios.
‘The Lazarus Project‘ Season 2 premieres Wednesday, 15th November 2023 at 9pm on Sky Max and streaming service NOW.
