TNT was set to debut rare scripted program, but it’s not happening yet

The show “explores our desire to take charge of what is beyond our control and is a moving story of love and fate within a gripping action thriller that will keep viewers on the edge of their seats,” TNT said.
Paapa Essiedu, Anjli Mohindra, Tom Burke and Caroline Quentin are in the cast.
The Lazarus Project is produced by Urban Myth Films in association with Sky Studios. Executive producers are Julian Murphy, Johnny Capps and Joe Barton. Paul Gilbert exec produces for Sky Studios. ■
