2025 Will See the Premiere of Lazarus by Shinichiro Watanabe and MAPPA

The 2025 launch date for Shinichiro Watanabe's Lazarus was disclosed at this year's San Diego Comic-Con. The 13-episode series is being produced by Sola Entertainment, with animation by MAPPA. Adult Swim will host the series.

 




Director Watanabe will oversee the action sequences, with assistance from famous stuntman and John Wick series director Chad Stahelski. Jazz saxophonist Kamasi Washington, producer, DJ, and musician Floating Points, and producer, DJ, and musician Bonobo are among the Lazarus original anime crew.

The Lazarus narrative is described by Adult Swim as:

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. Hapuna soon becomes ubiquitous… and essential. However, soon after Hapuna is officially introduced, Dr. Skinner vanishes.
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?
