The limited series, working title Lazarus, is being produced by Manchester-based Quay Street Productions and Amazon MGM Studios in association with Final Twist Productions.
Not to be confused with Apple TV+’s upcoming serial killer series starring Stephen Graham, the new Amazon thriller is described as a “gripping series that captures your attention instantly”, the thriller features huge names such as Sam Claflin and Bill Nighy, with filming taking place around the North West.
Sam Claflin who serves as executive producer, has been cast as Laz, a well-respected forensic psychologist who has spent his whole life running from the pain of his past.
Harlan Coben’s Lazarus plot
Based on an original story idea and written by the New York Times best-selling author Harlan Coben and BAFTA-winning Fool Me Once producer Danny Brocklehurst, Laz returns home following 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.
Harlan Coben said: “Lazarus is a story of loss, redemption — and the eternal bond between a parent and a child, even after death.”
