1. Harlan Coben’s Lazarus: The Must-See New Mystery Thriller
- Release date: Wednesday, October 22, 2025
- All 6 episodes available at once
If you love your fall traditions with a side of suspense, Harlan Coben’s Lazarus is one of this month’s biggest new releases—and it’s dropping all episodes on a Wednesday. Created by Coben and Daniel Brocklehurst (famed for their Netflix hit “Safe”), this fresh mystery thriller puts acclaimed actor Sam Claflin in the role of Joel Lazarus, a forensic psychologist whose cold case investigations spiral into the inexplicable. Bill Nighy joins as Dr. Jonatan Lazarus, aka Dr. L. In a twist, this series is not adapted from a Coben novel, breaking the pattern of adaptations like “Missing You” and “Fool Me Once.” Think haunting, think addictive, and prepare to wonder if you’ll ever sleep with the lights off again. The full six-episode run will let you binge to your heart’s content.
