Harlan Coben, the popular American writer and the show's creator, spoke to ScreenRant recently and shared thoughts on the release of Lazarus season 2. He stated: "We open a door at the end that you could go into if we want to, but we don't ever want to write a season that's just setting up a season 2. So, we don't know."He further added: "We also agreed that we're not going to do a season 2 unless we think it could be as good, if not better, than season 1. We're not just going to have a show on the air for the paycheck. It has to be that we think it's going to be as good. If not, we are lucky enough that we can do a new story. But I'm glad you're still intrigued and want to know more."While Coben's comments do not give much clarity for the next installment's release, viewers will have to wait longer for further confirmations about the possible release of Lazarus season 2.Watch Lazarus season 1 on Prime Video.
