Amazon has ordered a new Tomb Raider TV series into production, and it will be written and produced by Flea bag star and writer Phoebe Waller-Bridge, who also starred in last year’s film Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. Like the one from Amazon To fall series, this Tomb Raider show will premiere exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories around the world.
This series order is part of a larger deal between Amazon MGM Studios and Crystal Dynamics, developer of the Tomb Raider reboot, which is currently working on a new Tomb Raider game in Unreal Engine 5. In December 2022, we learned that Amazon Games is reportedly releasing this in-development of the Tomb Raider game, which Amazon describes as a “narrative-driven single-player adventure that will add a new chapter to Lara Croft’s story in the Tomb Raider series.”

“With good intellectual property, the possibilities are endless,” writes Christoph Hartmann, vice president of Amazon Games, in a press release. “The richness and depth of the fiction allows the Tomb Raider series from Prime Video and the video game from Amazon Games to tell distinct stories about the adventures of Lara Croft. We are honored that Crystal Dynamics has entrusted Amazon with this franchise iconic, and we “can’t wait to see where this collaboration takes us.
This is the second upcoming television adaptation featuring the iconic treasure hunter. The Netflix animated series Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft, starring Haley Atwell, is due out this year. This particular show takes place as a continuation of the Crystal Dynamic reboot trilogy, taking place after the events of Shadow of the Tomb Raider.
If you’re curious about Crystal Dynamics’ recent Tomb Raider reboot, you can download Tomb Raider: game of the Year Edition for free on PC via GOG if you’re an Amazon Prime member throughout the month of May.
