Like many SciFi fans have been looking forward to The Lazarus Project Since TNT set the release date as Jan 23rd. Tried to set the DVR last night: Tennis Match. Premiere listings lifted from Metacritic, et. al. TNT's Website now says "Coming Soon" although there are pieces out today saying it's been cancelled. Has anyone stumbled across any info about whether or not anyone else has picked this up?

It was cancelled ....at least through TNT. Remember a while back they said they were dropping all that type of programming. They did it.

It got "definitely delayed" AKA corporate speak for written off. The show will either resurface in a couple years elsewhere or become lost media

Is this the English show or a US version.

For people saying it has been cancelled by TNT:

It's a British Sky TV production and they have not only renewed it for a second season but have been actively filming it since November so it's still an active show, there just isn't a US distributor for it at this time.

Yes, and it can probably be watched with some kind of VPN skulduggery, but I think most people just want to turn on the TV and watch a good show.

What's frustrating is that US networks/services seem to instantly pick up every increasingly-ridiculous police procedural variant produced in the UK while more interesting stuff seems to have longer waits or, like The Lazarus Project, wind up in limbo while the providers figure out what to do with them.
