George and his colleagues are the few people on Earth with the ability to remember the events that are undone when time goes back. But when a freak accident harms someone close to George, Lazarus won’t let him turn back time to undo it unless there is the threat of global extinction.  Now George must choose to stay loyal or go rogue as he faces the question of: if you had the power to re-write your past, what would you sacrifice to do it? "The Lazarus Project" explores our desire to take charge of what is beyond our control and is a moving story of love and fate within a gripping action thriller that will keep viewers on the edge of their seats.

George is an ordinary man leading an ordinary life. Then one morning, he wakes up and discovers that the impossible has happened. Time has turned back and undone the events of the past six months. George is convinced that he’s lost his mind, until he is approached by the Lazarus Project, a secret organization who have harnessed the ability to turn back time. But with great power comes great responsibility – and George must decide whether working alongside Lazarus for “the greater good” is worth risking all he’s ever known and loved. Because what happens when saving the world comes at a personal price? 

Episode 2 

Written by: Marco Kreuzpaintner | Directed by: Joe Barton 

After a freak accident harms someone close to George, he is left distraught. He can’t stop himself from asking the question – if he is working with an organization that can turn back time, why can’t they undo what has happened and help the person he loves? He turns to his colleague and close friend Archie, who reveals to him the dangers of resetting time and how it almost destroyed her life. Meanwhile, George finds himself being drawn to the enigmatic ex-Lazarus agent Rebrov – could he really be the evil person that everyone makes him out to be? 

Episode 3 

Written by: Marco Kreuzpaintner | Directed by: Joe Barton 

Following a personal loss, George decides to stop mourning and take action instead. And if his colleagues at the Lazarus Project won’t help him, George will need to find support elsewhere - even if that means appealing to Lazarus’ sworn enemies. Through his new allies, George learns about a different, darker side to Lazarus – including the tragic story of what drove their arch-enemy Rebrov to betray the organization and vow to take them down.

Written by: Marco Kreuzpaintner | Directed by: Joe Barton 

A personal tragedy has set George on a collision course with the Lazarus Project. George is determined to reset time to get back the person he loves – but the only way to do so is by causing a global catastrophe. With Rebrov’s help, George decides to follow his heart and set out on a morally dubious mission of destruction. But what he doesn’t know is that his colleague Shiv, a diehard Lazarus loyalist, is onto him... and he will do anything to stop George. 

Episode 5

George continues on his mission to create chaos and turn back time. Trying desperately to keep the Lazarus Project off the scent, George tries to shift the suspicion from himself by making a longtime Lazarus employee – and Archie’s mentor - the scapegoat. But will Archie believe that her trusted colleague and mentor has gone rogue? As the stakes get higher and George is forced to resort to more extreme measures, he learns how far he is willing to go to get back the person that he loves.

Faced with a decision that will change countless lives and the world as he knows it, George will have to decide whether saving one person is worth all of this destruction – or if his entire mission has been a catastrophic mistake.
