What really drew me to her was her staunch conviction in the idea of altruism. It’s very clear there are masses of rungs above her, but she has the power to press the button to turn the clock back.

He also played Alexander Dumani in Gangs of London in 2020 and appeared in the series Press.
Paapa Essiedu is instantly recognisable as Kwame in Michaela Cole’s BAFTA winning series I May Destroy You. "I’ve been in action-y shows before, but I haven’t been at the heart of the gun-toting, car-crashing type thing - my character is very much at the centre of that in this, which was thrilling." What happens when you’re put in that position and you can look after number one, or you can look after everybody?
The show follows his journey of what he’s willing to do. He gets invited into this organisation, then something traumatic happens in his personal life. "George is an ordinary guy with a genetic mutation that gives him the ability to be involved in the time-tinkering process. "At its heart, it’s a love story set in a world where there’s a top-secret organisation that has the ability to turn back time in order to stop extinction-level events taking place - atomic bombs being dropped, worldwide viruses, civil wars - and then tinker in order to stop those things happening. Paapa Essiedu is playing George, a man faced with an impossible choice as he gives us his take on The Lazarus Project. George has some time travelling to do! Can he cope? (Image credit: SKy) The Lazarus Project cast - Paapa Essiedu on playing George That leaves him with a choice - should he stay loyal or go rogue in order to rewrite the past? However, George’s life is turned upside down when Sarah is the victim of a freak accident and Lazarus won’t let him reverse time unless there’s the threat of global extinction.
And they must fight together to stop the drama's villain Rebrov (Tom Burke), a notorious criminal who wants to set off a nuclear warhead and destroy the world. Like George, those who work there are the few people on Earth able to remember the events that are undone when time is turned back. Headed up by the steely Wes, the organization has harnessed the power to turn back time every time the world is under threat of extinction. Understandably George is convinced he’s losing his mind but then he is approached by a woman called Archie who says she’d like him to join a secret organization called The Lazarus Project. Strangely, all his recent achievements, including his marriage to Sarah (Charly Clive) and his work successes, have been undone yet he seems to be the only one who’s noticed. In The Lazarus Project, Paapa Essiedu stars as George, a seemingly ordinary guy who is left reeling when he wakes up one day to find he’s reliving a day from many months beforehand.
