Enter Lazarus, a task force of five international agents racing against time to find Skinner, unravel the mystery, and develop a life-saving vaccine.
Can they beat the clock and save humanity from the brink of catastrophe?

Where to watch the Lazarus anime
Lazarus debuts on the Toonami block of Adult Swim in North America. At the time of writing, streaming platforms have yet to announce if they will broadcast Lazarus when it airs.
Since the show is an Adult Swim program, it will likely stream on Max because of their shared affiliation under Warner Bros. Discovery.
