With an RV speeding through streets and crashing into police cars, you might be thinking that this is a crossover between Breaking Bad and the Fast & Furious movies. But no! Instead what we have for you is an exclusive new clip from Sky original drama The Lazarus Project. Check it out...
The show, from Giri/Haji creator Joe Barton stars Gangs Of London's Paapa Essiedu as George, who wakes up one morning and finds himself reliving a day from months ago. He thinks he’s lost his mind: all of his recent milestones have been undone, including his success at work and his marriage to the love of his life Sarah (Charly Clive). Worst of all, he seems to be the only one who has noticed what’s happened.
That is, until he meets Archie (Anjli Mohindra), who recruits George for the Lazarus Project – a secret organisation that has harnessed the ability to turn back time every time the world is at threat of extinction. Like George, those who work at Lazarus are the few people on earth with the ability to remember the events that are undone when time goes back. Alongside colleagues Archie, standoffish Shiv (Rudi Dharmalingam), and their steely leader Wes (Caroline Quentin) George works to prevent global catastrophe – including trying to track down the formidable Rebrov (Tom Burke), a wanted criminal intent on detonating a nuclear warhead and destroying the world.
Then 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 is faced with the question: if you had the power to rewrite your past, what would you sacrifice to do it?
The eight-part thriller lands on Sky Max and NOW on 16 June.
