- Amazon announced a Tomb Raider series last year, starring Sophie Turner as Lara Croft.
- The series will pay homage to the legendary franchise with shooting starting in January.
- The series’s story will interconnect with the games and the new live-action show.
Amazon is currently working on a Tomb Raider series with Game of Thrones’ Sophie Turner as Lara Croft. At the announcement, the showrunners promised that it would honor the franchise’s legacy, and now, further details have been disclosed.
The studio has revealed that the upcoming Tomb Raider series will reinvent the franchise on a massive scale. It will interconnect the new live-action series and video games into a single unified storytelling universe.
Why it matters: This new development suggests that we will likely see numerous references as well as further plot points from the video games explored in the Amazon series.
The TV series is a collaboration between Amazon, MGM Studios, and Story Kitchen, and the latter’s website has confirmed these new details. This means the games’ stories will be vital for the Sophie Turner-led series.
It is safe to assume that the story will be interconnected with the reboot trilogy game rather than the original, as Crystal Dynamics is heavily involved. Also, the newer games are more relevant to the modern audience.
Nonetheless, the series is shaping up to be a great prospect. It is being led by Phoebe Waller-Bridge, an Emmy winner, being directed by Shogun’s Jonathan Van Tulleken, and shooting starts in January 2026.
We currently don’t have a release window for the show, but it is expected to premiere sometime in 2027 or later. Additionally, a new Tomb Raider game is also in development, so fans of the franchise will be eating well.
