Adult Swim’s animated mystery “Lazarus” continues its first season this Saturday with “Almost Blue,” an episode that takes the team underwater in search of answers. In the year 2052, humanity lives free from disease, thanks to Dr. Skinner’s miracle drug, Hapuna. But this seemingly utopian future has its own set of submerged secrets.
Following coordinates extracted from an AI, the team in “Lazarus” heads to a cluster of islands once owned by Skinner, now swallowed by rising sea levels. What they hope to find beneath the waves is more than just rusting infrastructure; it’s a deeper understanding of Skinner’s plans, his motivations, and the true cost of this disease-free existence.
As anyone familiar with Adult Swim can attest, the network specializes in shows that defy easy categorization. “Lazarus” blends animation with science fiction and mystery, adding a dash of dystopian intrigue for good measure. “Almost Blue” presents some unique challenges for the team – underwater exploration isn’t exactly easy.
“Lazarus: Almost Blue” airs Saturday, May 17 at 12:00 AM ET on Adult Swim.
