Lazarus will premiere on adult swim in 2025. From Shinichirō Watanabe, the series follows secret agents hunting for a vaccine to save humanity after a seemingly miracle cure-all drug turns deadly. The year is 2052.

When he reemerges after three years, it is as a devil who brings countless deaths and the end of civilization. Hapna turns out to be a drug that has a fatal, retroactive effect, one that appears three years after first taking it; it was a death-trap for anyone who took it, even once. Humanity will start dying off in 30 days. The only way to save the world is to get at the cure that only Skinner holds. For that we must first find him. “Lazarus” is a team of five agents gathered from various corners of the world to do just that. Can they save humanity? And what is Skinner’s true purpose?
