Season 3 AI Speculation:

Fire up the Quattro! The rumour mill has been buzzing with talk of a final chapter for DCI Sam Tyler in a much-anticipated third season, officially titled Lazarus. The show's creators, Matthew Graham and Ashley Pharoah, confirmed they had completed a pilot script and were deep in development, sparking massive excitement that we would finally get a concrete air date for the concluding instalment. The original plan was to bring the iconic series back to its home on BBC One for one last mind-bending trip.

However, in a recent and disappointing update, co-creator Matthew Graham confirmed that the BBC has decided not to move forward with commissioning the series, citing financial challenges. This means that, for now, any speculation about an air date on BBC One is unfortunately on hold indefinitely. While the creators are actively exploring other avenues to get Lazarus made, there is currently no official release window. Is it '73 or is it '24? The timeline for a return remains a mystery!
