Sky is preparing to launch the hotly anticipated second season of its flagship sci-fi series. The Lazarus Project is back on screens later this year, marking the return of one of Sky’s most successful original shows in recent years.
Billed by Sky as “a timely and affecting exploration of the desire to take charge of your own fate,” the Sky Original sci-fi thriller proved a huge hit when it launched in June 2022. It went on to become Sky Max’s second-biggest new scripted launch of the last two years, with a 28-day audience of 1.7m, according to Sky, while it also earned a perfect 100 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes.
TV lovers can catch the action-packed second season with an amazing Black Friday deal that includes access to three different TV and streaming providers with a single entertainment package, all for less than £20. Sky is offering customers a bundle that includes Sky Stream, Sky TV, Netflix and six months of Apple TV+ for free at the provider's “lowest-ever price” of £19 a month – a saving of £126 over 18 months.
