Lazarus stands out as a groundbreaking sci-fi anime, bringing together some of the most acclaimed talents in entertainment. Directed by Shinichirō Watanabe, the visionary behind Cowboy Bebop, Lazarus is not a revival but a fresh narrative, as noted by critic Ryan Guar in his review of the first five episodes. The animation is a collaboration between Mappa Studio, known for hits like Chainsaw Man and Jujutsu Kaisen, and Sola Entertainment, creators of Tower of God. Additionally, the action sequences are crafted by Chad Stahelski, the acclaimed director of the John Wick series.
Given the significant buzz and intrigue surrounding Lazarus, it's no surprise that Adult Swim has secured the rights to air new episodes simultaneously in the U.S. and Japan. If you're eager to catch the latest episodes, here's how you can watch Lazarus online.
In the year 2052, a miracle drug turns lethal, threatening humanity's extinction. A team of outlaws known as LAZARUS has 30 days to save the world. Dive into this thrilling series on Max, where new episodes will be available to stream the day after they air on Adult Swim. This means **new episodes of Lazarus will arrive on Max every Sunday**. Subscriptions to Max start at $9.99 and can be bundled with Disney+ and Hulu for an enhanced viewing experience.
According to a Warner Bros. press release, subtitled versions of Lazarus episodes will be available on Max 30 days after the dubbed episodes.
Lazarus episodes are broadcast simultaneously in Japan and the United States. In the U.S., **you can catch new dubbed episodes of Lazarus live on Adult Swim during its Toonami block on Saturday nights**. In addition to traditional cable, Adult Swim is accessible through live TV subscriptions like Hulu + Live TV, which offers a three-day free trial.
The first season of Lazarus will feature 13 episodes in total. Each episode will premiere live on Adult Swim before becoming available on Max. Keep in mind that episodes air at midnight (technically Sunday), but are considered part of Adult Swim's Saturday block. Here's the anticipated release schedule for Lazarus Season 1:
Lazarus breaks the mold as an entirely original anime, with no manga to spoil the plot twists. Here's the official synopsis from the Lazarus website:
In the year 2052, global peace and prosperity reign, thanks to a miracle drug developed by Nobel Prize-winning neuroscientist Dr. Skinner. Named Hapuna, this cure-all has no apparent side effects. However, three years later, Dr. Skinner returns with dire news: Hapuna's half-life is short, and those who have taken it will die within three years. Facing this impending doom, a special task force of five agents, known as "Lazarus," is assembled to thwart Skinner's plan and develop a vaccine before time runs out.
Created by Shinichirō Watanabe, Lazarus boasts an impressive voice cast in both Japanese and English:
