'The Lazarus Project' Season 2 Finally Lands a Streaming Home in the U.S.

There is nothing more frustrating than a great show failing to gain traction because the network that airs or streams it is too busy imploding to actually do its job of marketing TV shows so that audiences can find them and watch. While Paramount+ and MGM+ have been the poster children for this problem, paying good money for worthwhile series that then languish unwatched on services to which no one subscribes, Warner Bros. Discovery and David Zaslav haven't been slouches in mishandling their programs either. From The Great Pottery Throw Down to It's a Sin, the once and future HBO Max is filled with genuinely spectacular content, most of which viewers have no idea exists.

However, as time passes and HBO Max prepares to be sold to the highest bidder, those shows are finally starting to escape their containment. First, it was The Tourist, which the BBC pulled back from WBD after it failed to market Season 1. It was subsequently moved to Netflix, where Season 2 eventually debuted. Now, the same is finally happening with The Lazarus project, one of the truly gregarious failures of the WBD era.

The Lazarus Project is a time-hopping romance that thoroughly twists its true love tropes, starring Paapa Essiedu (The Capture) as George with Charly Clive (Pure) co-starring as the love-of-his-life (well, in some timelines anyway), Sarah. The series was supposed to anchor TNT's drama slate in January 2022 but was yanked from the schedule less than a week before its premiere and rescheduled for June with no notice. It was also renewed for Season 2 and confirmed for TNT before Season 1 premiered. However, Season 2 came and went on Sky in the U.K. in late 2023, with no sign of it on TNT, HBO, Max, or anything. Since then, the show has been in streaming limbo no longer on Max, but nowhere else either, until now.
