Lazarus, Harlan Coben's New Thriller, Premieres on Prime Video With Bill Nighy

Coben describes casting Nighy as a next-day yes to a role written for him.

Overview

  • The six-part supernatural murder-mystery is now streaming globally on Prime Video.
  • The series was co-created by Harlan Coben and Danny Brocklehurst and stars Bill Nighy, Sam Claflin and Alexandra Roach.
  • Coben says he envisioned Nighy as Dr Jonathan Lazarus from the outset and celebrated when the actor accepted immediately after reading the script.
  • Producers aimed for a more visual, eerie tone and a distinctly British sensibility that sets it apart from Coben’s recent Netflix adaptations.
  • Filming took place at Space Studios Manchester, including a bespoke art-deco office set built for the title character.
