What is The Lazarus Project Season 1 about?
Six months ago, on 1st July, the world was in a state of panic as COVID (a deadly virus) spread rapidly. However, George finds himself jumping back six months to find out what happened in the meantime. What he discovers changes everything - Mers-22 has emerged and is causing the pandemic to spiral out of control. With no hope of stopping it, George must find a way to save the world before it’s too late. ..
George is approached by a woman called Archie who tells him that he has a rare “mutant gene” which allows him to naturally experience these jumps without the aid of a special serum. ..
George is recruited by a group of scientists to help stop global-level extinction events before they destroy the world. ..
In light of The Lazarus Project’s eighth and final episode, we wanted to provide a recap for all eight episodes and a full season review.
Has The Lazarus Project been renewed for season 2?
Sky has renewed The Lazarus Project for a second season! Given the way this ends though, it’s great news for fans who may recall that the final episode ended with everything left on a massive cliffhanger.
Sarah has taken the serum and Shiv is alive – barely – while Janet has been somehow displaced in time. With a rival time machine, the future of the Lazarus Project is hanging in the balance.
In an exclusive interview with Radio Times, the show’s creator and chief writer, Joe Barton, said he definitely has plans for a follow-up. He declined to give any further details, but hinted that the show could air again in the near future.
“It’s a really interesting question, and one we’d explore more if we get further series,” Barton said.
Barton is keen to explore the origins of the Lazarus Project, which includes who financed it and its ability to rewind time. ..
“There are questions of who is pulling the strings in Wes’ life,” said Quentin. “That’s definitely a big part of what a second series would be, if we get one.” ..

What we know about season 2 so far:
Sky have only just green-lit a sequel to season 2, which means little is known about it.
We’re still in the middle of a time loop, and the conflict with Big Boy may be resolved, but these Chinese agents appear to be a whole different kind of fish. We could be on course for an espionage adventure akin to Fringe Season 2 or something much closer to Travelers, where operatives jump back to save impending disaster.
We’re excited to announce that season 2 of our show has been greenlit! We’ll see you all on the next timeline! ..
