Between yesterday and today, new details have been announced about the two Tomb Raider series, the second season of the anime on Netflix, and the live-action series on Amazon Prime Video. We’ll tell you all about it below.
Second Season in Netflix
Netflix will release the second and final season on December 11, 2025, whose events will conclude to connect with the plot of the upcoming video game.
Therefore, the premiere of the second season of Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft will coincide with the Games Award gala. There are fan theories that say all this is a sign that on that same day, we will learn more details about the upcoming video game, but until that finally happens, we must remain calm and hope that it will be so.
When adventurer Lara Croft discovers the trail of stolen African Orisha masks, she teams up with her best friend Sam to recover the valuable artifacts. Lara will travel around the world as she delves into the hidden secrets of Orisha’s history, dodging the machinations of a dangerous and enigmatic billionaire who wants the masks for herself, while discovering that these relics contain dark secrets and a power that defies logic. A power that, in fact, could be divine.
To compile the entire cast, the actors who play the main characters are:
- Lara Croft: Hayley Atwell
- Sam Nishimura: Karen Fukuhara
- Eshu: O-T Fagbenle
- Zip: Allen Maldonado
- Jonah Maiava: Earl Baylon

First Season for Amazon Prime Video
Yesterday, it was finally made official who will play Lara Croft in the live-action series for Amazon Prime Video: Sophie Turner, whose casting had already been rumored in recent months, especially after the actress shared a photo of her new physical training progress.
Amazon MGM Studios confirmed that filming for the Tomb Raider series will begin on January 19, 2026.
Sophie Turner stated the following in an interview:
I am thrilled beyond measure to be playing Lara Croft. She’s such an iconic character, who means so much to so many – and I am giving everything I’ve got. They’re massive shoes to fill, following in the steps of Angelina and Alicia with their powerhouse performances, but with Phoebe at the helm, we (and Lara) are all in very safe hands. I can’t wait for you all to see what we have cooking.
The project promises a large-scale adventure with humor, staying true to the legacy of the iconic video game character. Vernon Sanders of Amazon praised the choice of Turner and the leadership of Waller-Bridge. Jonathan Van Tulleken will direct the series, and Chad Hodge joins as co-showrunner. Production is being handled by Amazon MGM Studios, Crystal Dynamics, and Story Kitchen, with a strong team of executive producers and representatives involved.
