The time-bending, action-thriller television series The Lazarus Project has been picked up for a second season.
Season two of the drama which is available in Australia on Stan will see stars Paapa Essiedu (Gangs of London, I May Destroy You), Charly Clive (All My Friends Hate Me), Rudi Dharmalingam (Wakefield) and Anjli Mohindra (The Sarah Jane Adventures, Munich: The Edge of War) all set to return.
The gripping action-thriller series from Joe Barton, the acclaimed writer of Giri/Haji and Urban Myth Films, The Lazarus Project has been described as “a Christopher Nolan-esque mind-spinner” (British GQ), the “complete blockbuster package” (Den of Geek) and “compelling but also shrewdly funny” (Harper’s Bazaar) and was a hit with critics and audiences alike.
The acclaimed series follows George (Essiedu), an ordinary man leading an ordinary life. Then one morning, he wakes to discover he’s reliving the same events over again.
Mystified, he’s introduced to The Lazarus Project, a secret organisation that uses its ability to turn back time to save the world from extinction.
Joe Barton, writer and executive producer and Johnny Capps, executive producer for The Lazarus Project said:
