Tomb Raider Show Adds Jason Isaacs as Amazon Preps for Production in January

Though details on both Isaacs and Weaver’s roles remain under wraps, it’s clear the team behind the Prime Video project is picking up steam as they plan to begin production January 19. We first learned about Amazon’s plans to develop a show based on the iconic video game adventurer when Fleabag mastermind Phoebe Waller-Bridge was announced as creator, writer, and executive producer. It didn’t get an official greenlight until May 2024, with Turner finally locked in as Lara Croft in September of this year.

Tomb Raider developer Crystal Dynamics, Amazon MGM, and Story Kitchen are working on the show, with Chad Hodge attached as co-showrunner and executive producer. Jonathan van Tulleken (Shogun) is also in the mix as an executive producer and director.

We’ll need to wait a while longer to learn more about Isaacs’ part in the new Tomb Raider show, with its release date, plot details, and additional casting information still yet to be announced. Story Kitchen recently told fans to expect a project that will “reinvent the franchise on a massive scale,” teasing that it will be interconnected with the video game universe it spawned from.
