Viewers are curious to know whether Lazarus will be renewed for Season 2 or canceled. Created by Shinichirō Watanabe, the action series takes place in 2052, where Dr. Skinner creates a miracle drug, Hapna. Things take an unexpected turn when he, in 2055, reveals that the drug had a limited period after which everyone who consumed it would die. To locate the doctor and create a vaccine, a task force is created. With the series having concluded recently, many are eager to know if another outing could be expected. So, here are the details.
Is Lazarus Season 2 canceled or renewed?
Lazarus is neither canceled nor renewed for Season 2, as of yet.
Generally, any series renewal depends on multiple factors, which also include viewership, ratings, and audience reception. If the series manages to meet these expectations, then a renewal is likely. In Lazarus’ case, it has received mostly positive reviews, with critics praising it for its engaging storyline, appealing visuals, likable characters, and music. It has also garnered an impressive viewership. While it matches all the factors to greenlight a renewal, there are also chances that it might not get another season.
This is because Watanabe typically likes his stories to be self-contained and doesn’t much like making a series run long. Due to this, viewers might not see a second season. However, they will still have to wait for an official confirmation from the creator and studios, MAPPA, and Sola Entertainment. But, if the series receives another outing, then fans can expect it to drop sometime in mid or late 2026.
The aforementioned date is speculative and may vary depending on when the production begins and is completed. For now, fans can savor the current season on various platforms such as Max and Adult Swim.
The voice cast of Lazarus includes Axel as Mamoru Miyano, Doug as Makoto Furukawa, Christin as Maaya Uchida, Leland as Yuma Uchida, Eleina as Manaka Iwami, and others.
