The last we saw of our heroes, they were grappling with a devastating time loop, and the realisation that Janet (Vinette Robinson) had actually been sent back in time.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Sarah (Charly Clive) now knows everything about what George has been up to, and has been enlisted into the Lazarus Project \u2013 plus, there are plenty more twists to come<\/a>, as writer Joe Barton recently teased.<\/p>\n But for now, we\u2019re handing over to star of the show Anjli Mohindra, who plays Archie, to exclusively recap season 1 for RadioTimes.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n As Archie explains in the video, \u201cThe date is July 1st. Life is good for George, until he wakes up on the same day and realises he\u2019s stuck in some kind of time loop.<\/p>\n \u201cUnable to understand, George spirals and Sarah leaves him. That\u2019s when he meets me, Archie. I promised to answer all of George\u2019s questions should the loop repeat again.<\/p>\n \u201cSix months pass, and just like clockwork\u2026 George and I meet again, and I revealed George is something different.<\/p>\n \u201cGeorge has the rare ability to record time jumps all orchestrated by us, the Lazarus Project.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019ve been preventing the world from ending for years, undoing time to a particular date known as a checkpoint \u2013 in this case, 1st July, and we keep resetting until our mission is complete.<\/p>\n \u201cI invite George to join the Lazarus Project to help with our mission of saving the world. He accepts. Nice one, George. George joins us on his first mission. A nuclear warhead called Big Boy has been stolen by Dennis Rebrov, a former employee turned traitor. We track him down in Paris but he gets the better of us and detonates.<\/p>\n \u201cOnce again, we wake up on 1st July, our mission incomplete.<\/p>\n \u201cWe continue to pursue Rebrov while George stays at home with Sarah. One fateful morning, she\u2019s hospitalised when she\u2019s hit by a truck on her way to work. I call George to tell him Rebrov\u2019s been captured, which means no time jump, and no guarantee of saving Sarah.<\/p>\n \u201cGeorge asks us to turn back time to save Sarah. Unfortunately, that\u2019s not how the Lazarus Project works, and Sarah sadly dies.<\/p>\n \u201cSo George turns the one man he knows can help him get her back: Rebrov. Rebrov tells George that the only way to get Sarah back is to detonate Big Boy. George agrees to the mission and heads to Barcelona to meet Rebrov\u2019s contact and the only person who can build him a detonator. Her name is Janet, also an ex member of the Lazarus Project.<\/p>\n \u201cRebrov and Janet were once lovers who lost a child in favour of a mission, so they both turned their backs on the team.<\/p> \u201cNow armed with a detonator, George heads to Romania to track down Big Boy. Shiv, another member of the Lazarus Project, gets suspicious and follows him. George shoots and kills him.<\/p>\n \u201cEventually, he\u2019s able to locate Big Boy and detonates it on Russian territory. George is called back to the Lazarus project to explain everything. He successfully frames Shiv, but his mission has failed. The damage isn\u2019t great enough to turn back time.<\/p>\n \u201cSo George takes things one step further, killing that a Russian ambassador and inciting war. The Lazarus Project has no choice but to turn back. Boom, the clock has been reset. Sarah and Shiv are alive and Rebrov is free.<\/p>\n \u201cGeorge is happy until Sarah leaves him again. We locate Shiv in Hamburg. He\u2019s got himself mixed up in a hostage situation. The hostage is Janet, but there\u2019s no sign of her and no sign of Shiv.<\/p>\n \u201cRhui a former agent of the Chinese government appears to be involved too. That\u2019s an understatement. George returns to his apartment and he\u2019s attacked by Shiv. He shoots Shiv at exactly 0:00 hours on July 1st.<\/p>\n \u201cWhile disposing of his body, George finds a bloody note in Shiv\u2019s pocket. A few weeks pass, and for reasons unknown, time resets again to the exact time that he shoots and kills Shiv.<\/p>\n \u201cSomeone\u2019s made a copy of the Lazarus Project\u2019s black hole, and time will keep resetting until we find a way to destroy it. I tracked down Rhui, who informs me that the Chinese government is responsible. Janet is the only one who can fix it, but we can\u2019t find her anywhere. It\u2019s then that I finally find out about George\u2019s dealings with Janet.<\/p>\n \u201cI told George that he needs to find a way to save him. So he sets off to discover what was written on the bloody note in Shiv\u2019s pocket. Shiv\u2019s only one he knows where Janet is. Rebrov\u2019s also looking for Janet, so he turns up at George\u2019s apartment. George shares the note with Rebrov \u2013 but before he can say anything, time resets all over again.<\/p>\n \u201cGeorge manages to revive Shiv, who reveals that Rebrov is the key. Rebrov shows up at Lazarus HQ to reveal what was on that note. It\u2019s a code that he and Janet would share with each other if ever they got in trouble, one that he last received in a text message back in 2012. So someone has found a way to send Janet back in time. To get her back, we need his help.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd that\u2019s what brings us up to season 2. It\u2019s bigger, bolder, 100 times more bats**t \u2013 and I think you\u2019re really going to want to see it.\u201d<\/p>\n The Lazarus Project returns for season 2 on 15th November.
