Fans of best-selling crime writer Harlan Coben can’t afford to miss out on his heart-pounding new thriller Lazarus on Prime Video after others have enjoyed a moving period drama and some have been intrigued by an exhilarating adaptation of an Ibsen classic.

The show promises to keep audiences on the edge of their seats and features an all-star cast.

Harlan Coben's Lazarus marks yet another drama from the author, following in the footsteps of other series, including Stay Close, Fool Me One, The Stranger, The Five and Shelter.

Here’s the lowdown on Harlan Coben's Lazarus, including episode count, cast and more.

Harlan Coben's Lazarus will be released on Prime Video on Wednesday, October 22 worldwide.

Like most of Coben’s shows, Lazarus boasts an impressive cast led by The Hunger Games, Peaky Blinders and Me Before You star Sam Claflin as psychiatrist Joel Lazarus/Laz.

Love Actually and Pirates of The Caribbean star Bill Nighy takes on Laz’s psychiatrist father Dr Jonathan Lazarus.

Meanwhile, BlackMirror and Utopia actress Alexandra Roach plays Jenna Lazarus.

David Fynn from Am I Being Unreasonable? and The Pembrokeshire Murders plays Seth McGovern.

Karla Crome of Misfits and Under the Dome fame is Bella Catton.

Rounding off the main cast is Shaun of the Dead and Sanditon actress Kate Ashfield as Detective Alison Brown.

Other cast members include Father Brown’s Jack Deam, Ewan Horrocks, Charlie Mann, Sianad Gregory and Ravi Multani.

Unlike other shows, Lazarus isn’t based on one of Coben’s novels.

Instead, the American thriller master teamed up with acclaimed screenwriter Danny Brocklehurst to create the TV show.

The pair previously worked on Netflix’s Safe and The Five, with Lazarus promising to be another gripping watch.

The drama follows Claflin’s Laz as he finds himself unravelling following his father Jonathan’s supposed suicide in his office.

Laz becomes convinced that whoever is behind his father’s death is also the one who killed his sister Sutton 25 years earlier.

As he tries to get to the truth, Laz starts to experience disturbing hallucinations of his father and other deceased people.

Prime Video recently dropped a trailer for the captivating new drama series, with Coben posting on Instagram under the video: “Watch this trailer. We don’t play favorites [sic] but, I mean, come on now.”

Many fans posted their excitement under the trailer, with one person saying: "I mean....this looks incredible. You may have outdone yourself this time. Not even going to mention the stellar cast.”

A second noted: “love reading all your stuff. Can’t wait for this to come out!”

A third said: “I’ve been SO excited for this since I first heard about it. I can’t wait anylonger!! You are killing me with this AMAZING trailer.

“You are my absolute favourite author. Thank you for making this series come to life from your brilliant mind! [sic].”
