It is official – Lázaro de Harlan Coben It will arrive in Prime Video on October 22, with the six episodes ready to fall into the transmission service at the same time. Starring Bill Night and Sam Claflin, the new crime thriller will follow a forensic pathologist (Claflin) who investigates the murders of cold cases after returning to his family home after his father’s death (Night).
The bodies of crime among us will know that this is far from being the first time we have been able to convey a Coben story. Check me once, Missing Youand Stay close They are all among those adapted to their novels. The difference is that we have normally been transmitting crime dramas in Netflix in recent years.
So why Lazarus crossed to a primary video? The answer is not only much more direct than you think, but it will be easier than ever for new and old fans equally seeing the new series, and that is something good.
Lázaro de Harlan Coben is not the first adaptation that has been made for Amazon

He returned his mind to 2018. Coben had just signed a five -year agreement with Netflix to adapt 14 of his existing novels for the transmission service, which includes the titles that I have mentioned above. When they began to appear since 2020 (starting with The stranger), has officially reached the end of the five -year period.
But even before that, Coben’s Shelter He had already adapted to the main video in 2023 (you can see the trailer above). Because Mickey Bolitar’s books were not part of what was described in Netflix’s contract, Coben had a free total reign to do this. Two years later, and that apparently began a completely new transmission association.
It is also worth taking into account that Lazarus It will not be an adaptation of an existing book, but comes from a script written by Coben and Danny Brocklehurst. This is another big difference with respect to television programs that we have seen before, and potentially highlights a new route of original ideas that can explore the main video association.
Personally, I think they charge by changing Netflix to Prime Video is an incredibly intelligent movement. We will never lose the content bank created for the first, but Prime Video is a service that has many casual spectators thanks to its connection with Amazon Prime. My grandmother can see Lázaro, like my mother, along with those who now think that the other best transmission services are a scam and want to cancel their subscriptions.
Even me, who normally did not gravitate towards a crime procedure, we feel more obliged to give Lazarus back. And that, my friends, is intelligent commercial planning.
