It\u2019s another major addition for the Tomb Raider series, which already includes Sophie Turner (Game of Thrones) as Lara Croft, with <u>Sigourney Weaver (Avatar: Fire and Ash) said to still be in talks to join<\/u>, too.<\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-313219616\"><img alt=\"\" aria-hidden=\"true\" decoding=\"async\" role=\"presentation\" class=\"progressive-image article-image article-image-full-size jsx-1809694635 jsx-2338608387\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"\/><figcaption data-cy=\"caption\" class=\"caption jsx-1762799490 jsx-479945570 article-image-caption\">Jason Isaacs.

We first learned about Amazon\u2019s plans to develop a show based on the iconic video game adventurer when Fleabag mastermind Phoebe Waller-Bridge was <u>announced<\/u> as creator, writer, and executive producer. It didn\u2019t <u>get an official greenlight<\/u> until May 2024, with <u>Turner finally locked in as Lara Croft<\/u> in September of this year.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">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.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">We\u2019ll need to wait a while longer to learn more about Isaacs\u2019 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 \u201c<u>reinvent the franchise on a massive scale<\/u>,\u201d teasing that it will be interconnected with the video game universe it spawned from.<\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"article-slideshow\"><button type=\"button\" style=\"display:none\" class=\"jsx-2228525885\"\/><\/p>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-view-trigger\">\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-preview\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 slideshow-preview\">\n<h3 class=\"title5 jsx-62124236 jsx-1085005187\" data-cy=\"slideshow-preview-title\">Every IGN Tomb Raider Review Ever<\/h3>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-images-container\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 images-container\"><button type=\"button\" data-cy=\"hero-image\" aria-label=\"Open Slideshow\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 hero-image\"><img alt=\"\" aria-hidden=\"true\" decoding=\"async\" role=\"presentation\" class=\"progressive-image jsx-2021719738 image aspect-ratio aspect-ratio-16-9 jsx-2605834259 jsx-2338608387 hover-opacity\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"\/><span class=\"button-text jsx-729543028 button button--primary jsx-3381835873 jsx-4266531355 row-pagination-button next contained centered round large\" data-cy=\"paginate next\" title=\"Open Slideshow\"><span class=\"ign-icon right-chevron jsx-2750866048 jsx-2919720488\" role=\"presentation\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-cy=\"right-chevron\" style=\"mask:url(https:\/\/kraken.ignimgs.com\/_next\/static\/media\/RightChevron.272be43c.svg) no-repeat center center \/ contain;background:currentColor\"\/><\/span><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/output><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Just because Lara Croft is taking another stab in the world of live-action doesn\u2019t mean her time in video game has come to an end. Last week, Crystal Dynamics revealed two new projects for the series: <u>Tomb Raider: Catalyst<\/u> and <u>Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis<\/u>.
