Lazarus stands out as a groundbreaking anime, uniting some of the most acclaimed talents across both anime and broader entertainment. Directed by Shinichirō Watanabe, renowned for Cowboy Bebop, Lazarus is an original sci-fi series that, according to critic Ryan Guar's review of the first five episodes, diverges significantly from Watanabe's previous work. The animation is a collaborative effort between Mappa Studio, known for hits like Chainsaw Man and Jujutsu Kaisen, and Sola Entertainment, creators of Tower of God. Action sequences are meticulously designed by Chad Stahelski, the director behind the John Wick films, promising thrilling visuals and dynamic fight scenes.

Given the high anticipation and intriguing mystery surrounding Lazarus, it's no surprise that Adult Swim has secured the rights to broadcast new episodes simultaneously in the U.S. and Japan. If you're eager to know how to catch the latest episodes of Lazarus online, here's all the information you need.

Where to Stream Lazarus

Lazarus

02052 - A miracle drug turns lethal, and humanity faces extinction. It's up to a team of outlaws known as LAZARUS to save the world. They have 30 days!

New episodes of Lazarus will be available to stream on Max the day after they air on Adult Swim. This means new episodes of Lazarus will be available on Max every Sunday. Max subscriptions start at $9.99 and can be bundled with Disney+ and Hulu for added value.

According to a Warner Bros. press release, subbed versions of Lazarus episodes will be released on Max 30 days after the dubbed episodes.

How to Watch New Episodes Live

Lazarus is broadcast simultaneously in Japan and the United States. In the U.S., you can watch new dubbed episodes of Lazarus live on Adult Swim during its Toonami block on Saturday nights. In addition to cable, Adult Swim is accessible through live TV subscriptions like Hulu + Live TV, which offers a three-day free trial.

Lazarus Episode Release Dates

The first season of Lazarus will consist of 13 episodes. Each episode will air live on Adult Swim before becoming available on Max. Note that episodes air at midnight (technically Sunday), but are part of Adult Swim's Saturday block, so they are referred to by the Saturday date. Plan to stay up late rather than set an early alarm.

What Is Lazarus About?

Lazarus is a unique anime as it is entirely original, without any source material like a manga to precede it. Here's the official plot synopsis from the Lazarus website:

The year is 2052 - an era of unprecedented peace and prosperity prevails across the globe. The reason for this: mankind has been freed from sickness and pain. Nobel Prize-winning neuroscientist Dr. Skinner has developed a miracle cure-all drug with no apparent drawbacks called Hapuna.

Three years later, the world has moved on. But Dr. Skinner has returned - this time, as a harbinger of doom. Skinner announces that Hapuna has a short half-life. Everyone who has taken it will die approximately three years later. Death is coming for this sinful world - and coming soon.

As a response to this threat, a special task force of 5 agents is gathered from across the world to save humanity from Skinner's plan. This group is called "Lazarus." Can they find Skinner and develop a vaccine before time runs out?
