To help celebrate its return, I had a chance to sit down with Caroline Quentin, who plays Lazarus Project boss, 'Wes', and Charly Clive who plays Sarah, George's girlfriend/ex, who at the end of last season, had just been made aware of The Lazarus Project...If you need a bit of a recap of where we left things, a new singularity, created by an unknown group, had locked the world into a never-ending time loop that will ultimately end with the planet’s complete extinction. The Lazarus team must race against time to find a solution before humanity is wiped out forever. George (Paapa Essiedu), has been left in disgrace after betraying the organisation in the name of love, but is determined to redeem himself and win back the trust of his friends, colleagues, and the love of his life. But when he discovers that the cause he’s fighting is more sinister than it appears, George begins to suspect that the only person he can really trust is himself.
