Last year, The Lazarus Project brought us all manner of time-looping and terror-fighting thrills – and, thankfully, you don't need to indulge in any chronological tinkering to see the next set of episodes. The show is coming back this year, and we have an exclusive first look at images from Season 2.
Heading into the new series, the fight to secure the future has never been more intense. In an escalation of last season's six-month time-loops, this time the world is set to end every three weeks, forcing the Lazarus team to race against time to find a solution before humanity is wiped out forever. Among their number is resolute Lazarus agent, George (Paapa Essiedu), who’s been left in disgrace after betraying the organisation in the name of love.

Scottish musical sensation Lewis Capaldi is the subject of a feature-length documentary directed by BAFTA winner Joe Pearlman (“Bros: After the Screaming Stops”) and produced by Pulse Films. The film will be shopped to buyers at the Cannes virtual market by Independent Entertainment.
The 24-year-old Capaldi has enjoyed a meteoric rise to fame over the past 36 months, earning a Grammy nomination and Brit award for his debut single “Someone You Loved,” in addition to a second Brit for best new artist, and selling out an arena tour before he’d even released his debut album.
It’s a stark contrast to his life just three years ago, when he was still carrying his own gear while performing in Scottish bars and pubs. The film follows Capaldi over a five-year period, from a global headline tour to returning to his parents’ home in Scotland to start work on his sophomore album.

Will has undergone a transformation in recent months, becoming more confident since enrolling in Hollyoaks Community College, meeting new friends and joining the rugby team. Atherton, reflecting on the change, told Digital Spy: "I really enjoyed playing the old Will, when he was more insular. It was really fun to come in, put the glasses on and get stuck behind a book, especially because it's so different from me in real life. "But what we've tried to do with Will is show that when people go to university and settle in with a group of friends, they do relax and come out of their shell.
