5 must-watch Sam Claflin movies and TV shows

If Lazarus left you wanting more of Sam Claflin's captivating screen presence, there’s plenty to explore. Here are some options to check out:

Peaky Blinders

Seasoned Sam Claflin fans were certainly surprised to see the actor take on an antagonistic role in Steven Knight's period drama series Peaky Blinders. Claflin played the role of a real-life fascist politician Sir Oswald Mosley in Seasons 5 and 6. After Claflin's performance in Lazarus, his portrayal of Mosley in this Cillian Murphy-led show speaks volumes about his range as an actor.

While Murphy's protagonist faced many menacing enemies throughout six seasons of Peaky Blinders, Claflin's Mosley remains the most iconic and it is a shame that the actor will not reprise his character in the upcoming sequel movie titled The Immortal Man.

Daisy Jones & the Six

This Emmy-nominated 2023 miniseries is based on Taylor Jenkins Reid's eponymous novel. The show follows a documentary-style journey of the titular fictional rock band's rise in the 1970s LA music scene to their eventual split at the height of their success. Sam Claflin plays the lead role of Billy Dunne, the band's lead singer, songwriter and guitarist.

Daisy Jones & the Six is a captivating drama miniseries available on Prime Video and will charm all music enthusiasts. Claflin fans will surely enjoy the actor's portrayal of a rock star and the frontman of his titular band. Claflin's Billy Dunne screams style and his chemistry with Camila Morrone's Camila Alvarez is worth tuning in for.

Me Before You

Get your tissues ready for this one! Sam Claflin and Emilia Clarke's 2016 movie Me Before You remains one of the most popular (and devastating) romantic movies of our time. After Claflin's intense performance in Lazarus, this is the perfect movie to see him in a different avatar.

Sam Claflin plays the character of Will Traynor, an ex-banker who is now tetraplegic after a brutal accident. While Will's condition has made him grumpy and nihilistic, he forms an unlikely friendship with his new caretaker, Lou, which eventually develops into a romance. Claflin and Clarke's soft chemistry is certainly the highlight of this movie and it remains a classic tearjerker of our generation.

The Count of Monte Cristo

This 2024 miniseries, directed by Bille August, is based on Alexandre Dumas's eponymous novel. Sam Claflin plays the lead role of Edmond Dantès, a French sailor who is wrongfully imprisoned on a forbidding island without a trial. Edmond is educated by a scholarly abbot and he eventually escapes in search of a hidden treasure.

The miniseries follows Edmond's journey as he searches for the treasure, following which he assumes the identity of Count of Monte Cristo and uses his wealth to exact revenge on his betrayers. After Lazarus, this 2024 miniseries is the perfect show to catch Claflin in yet another intense and dramatic performance.

The Hunger Games trilogy

The Hunger Games trilogy (Catching Fire and Mockingjay) remains one of the most impressive titles under Sam Claflin's resume. The franchise is based on Suzanne Collins' series of dystopian young adult books. Led by actress Jennifer Lawrence, The Hunger Games is set in Panem, a post-apocalyptic society divided into 12 oppressed districts ruled by the wealthy Capitol, which holds the titular annual games of survival.

Sam Claflin plays the role of Finnick Odair, a former victor from District 4. Finnick's conflicting choices and dilemmas will remind you of the actor's dramatic performance in Lazarus and now is the perfect time to hop onto this popular franchise's bandwagon.
