Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft
The Big Picture At long last, Netflix has unearthed a release date for its animated Tomb Raider series, The Legend of Lara Croft, with a new teaser hyping up the return of the legendary treasure hunter. The series was initially announced back in 2021 alongside last year's animated Skull Island as one of many adaptations of classic video game franchises in the works at the streamer.
Picking up after the events of the Survivor trilogy of games, beginning with Crystal Dynamics' 2013 reboot, follows Lara amid her increasingly daring solo adventures until she's forced to return home after a powerful Chinese artifact was stolen from Croft Manor. Adding to the intrigue is the uncanny personal connection the thief has, leading Lara on a pursuit across the globe and into forgotten temples for the answers she seeks to ancient mysteries.
Lara Croft has been noticeably absent from television and movie screens for a while now, with her last appearance coming in 2018 when Alicia Vikander embodied the character in Roar Uthaug's film adaptation. While that film also took inspiration from the Survivor trilogy, Croft's first film appearance was based on the original PlayStation 1 games with Angelina Jolie leading the box office hit Lara Croft: Tomb Raider and its 2003 sequel.
'Tomb Raider' Is Also Being Revived in Live Action The Legend of Lara Croft might be the beginning of a Tomb Raider renaissance as multiple projects within the franchise are currently in the works. While Legendary Television is handling the animated series with The Witcher: Blood Origin's Tasha Huo executive producing and writing, a live-action series was recently ordered at Prime Video with Crystal Dynamics producing and Fleabag creator Phoebe Waller-Bridge writing.
