Prime Video has released a new trailer for the upcoming Amazon Prime Video TV series Lazarus, starring Bill Nighy and Sam Claflin. The show follows a father and son duo investigating a string of cold cases linked to unsolved murders and is based on an original idea by popular mystery writer Harlan Coben.

The description for the new crime show describes it as follows: “Joel Lazarus (Sam Claflin), who returns home after his father, Dr Jonathan Lazarus (Bill Nighy), dies by suicide, and begins to have disturbing experiences that can’t be explained. He quickly becomes entangled in a series of cold-case murders as he grapples with the mystery of his father’s death and his sister’s murder 25 years ago.
