TNT wants more of The Lazarus Project. The British drama series has not yet premiered in the United States, but the cable channel has already picked up season two. Sky in the UK has already aired the first season and renewed the series for a second season last year.

Starring Paapa Essiedu, Anjli Mohindra, Tom Burke, Caroline Quentin, Rudi Dharmalingam, and Charly Clive, the sci-fi drama series revolves around a secret organization that can control time to save the planet when needed.

Deadline revealed the following about the plot of the TNT series:

The Lazarus Project follows George, the latest recruit to The Lazarus Project – a secret organization that has harnessed the ability to turn back time whenever the world is at the threat of extinction. George and his colleagues are the few people on Earth with the ability to remember the events that are undone when time goes back. But when a freak accident harms someone close to George, Lazarus won’t let him turn back time to undo it unless there is the threat of global extinction. Now George must choose to stay loyal or go rogue as he faces the question of: if you had the power to re-write your past, what would you sacrifice to do it?”

Kathleen Finch, Chairman and Chief Content Officer, US Networks Group for Warner Bros. Discovery, revealed the second season pick up at the company’s recent upfront. “We are so bullish on this series… that we’ve already picked up season two,” she said.

The eight-episode first season of The Lazarus Project will arrive on June 4th. A premiere date for season two will be announced later.
