Amazon Prime Video has confirmed the development of a new series inspired by Lara Croft.
The project will feature Phoebe Waller-Bridge as creator, screenwriter, executive producer, and co-showrunner. Filming will begin in January, directed by Jonathan Van Tulleken with Chad Hodge as co-showrunner.
Sophie Turner, the actress who will portray the heroine, is recognized for her role in Game of Thrones. She has stated that she feels excited to take on a character that has shaped pop culture for decades, both in video games and in film adaptations.
Waller-Bridge highlighted the team's passion for the character and her combination of courage and humor. The series is shaping up to be one of Prime Video's major projects in the coming years.
The series doesn't have a confirmed release date yet, but the British creator revealed that it will be packed with action and adventure. "Grab your artifacts, Croft is coming," said Waller-Bridge.
Prime Video is aiming for a balance between fidelity to the myth and narrative freshness, ensuring that the character remains a pop culture icon.
