Screen Rant is thrilled to present an exclusive clip from the upcoming TNT sci-fi action series The Lazarus Project. The series follows George, an unexpected new recruit to The Lazarus Project. This program manipulates time in order to save the world from apocalyptic events, and it has done so multiple times. However, George has a much more personal reason to want time to rewind when someone he loves is grievously injured.

After this turn of events, it’s up to George (played by I May Destroy You’s Paapa Essiedu) to decide if he’s going to continue following The Lazarus Project’s rules, which don’t allow him to turn back time for personal reasons, or go rogue to save the one he loves. An original concept that combines time travel, world-saving action, and moral questions The Lazarus Project is an exciting new sci-fi adventure that first debuted in the UK in June 2022. TNT picked up the series and will debut it in the US on June 4.
More About The Lazarus Project
Screen Rant’s exclusive clip from The Lazarus Project explains how time travel works within this world. George meets Archie (played by Anjli Mohindra), a part of The Lazarus Project. Archie tells him that his mutation has allowed him to naturally pick up on when time travel occurs, making him the perfect recruit for their program. She elaborates that they stop the world from ending and have had to jump back in time twenty times during George’s life to save the world, but this is the first time he has picked up on it. George surprises her by asking about the world-ending events instead of time travel.

Although The Lazarus Project has the ability to time travel, they seem to only use it in the most dire of circumstances, when there are no other options to stop a cataclysmic event. George not being someone they actively recruited is an interesting dynamic because it establishes him as an outlier in the agency. He isn’t someone they chose because he would be the right fit from a skill or psychological standpoint; instead, his mutation made him a candidate.
The first season of The Lazarus Project consists of eight episodes. The Lazarus Project stars Emmy® Award and BAFTA-nominated Paapa Essiedu, Anjli Mohindra, Tom Burke, Caroline Quentin, Rudi Dharmalingam, and Charly Clive. The Lazarus Project is executive produced by Julian Murphy, Johnny Capps, Joe Barton, Gabriel Silver, and Paul Gilbert.
