Sky has today revealed a teaser for the return of Sky Original sci-fi thriller, The Lazarus Project, starring Paapa Essiedu.

A riveting, propulsive and action-packed 8-part series; The Lazarus Project is a timely and affecting exploration of the desire to take charge of your own fate.

Among their number is resolute Lazarus agent, George (Paapa Essiedu), who’s been left in disgrace after betraying the organisation in the name of love.

George is determined to redeem himself and win back the trust of his friends, colleagues, and the love of his life. But when he discovers that the cause he’s fighting is more sinister than it appears, George begins to suspect that the only person he can really trust is himself.
