Calling all mystery thriller fans! Prime Video has unveiled the official trailer for its highly anticipated "mind-bending" series, Lazarus – and viewers are already calling it a must-watch. From bestselling author Harlan Coben and BAFTA-winning screenwriter Danny Brocklehurst, the drama follows Joel Lazarus (Sam Claflin), who returns home after the apparent suicide of his father, Dr Jonathan Lazarus (Bill Nighy). But when unsettling events unfold, Joel "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," according to the synopsis.
What happens in the trailer?
In the trailer, we see Joel becoming more and more detached from reality, as he grapples with the mysterious death of his father – as well as the loss of his sister. Things take a chilling turn when he begins seeing his father's ghost, and the tense trailer ends with him asking: "Dad, who murdered you?"
