The project is the first live-action TV adaptation of the legendary Core Design video game franchise. Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner will lead the series as the iconic Lara Croft.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The series was greenlit in May 2024, with Turner\u2019s casting first reported later that year. It is being spearheaded by Phoebe Waller-Bridge, who will serve as creator, writer, and executive producer, while Chad Hodge has joined as co-showrunner. Jonathan van Tulleken will direct and executive produce.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Turner follows in the footsteps of Angelina Jolie and Alicia Vikander, both of whom previously portrayed Croft on the big screen. &#8220;She\u2019s such an iconic character, who means so much to so many \u2013 and I am giving everything I\u2019ve got,&#8221; Turner said. &#8220;They\u2019re massive shoes to fill, but with Phoebe at the helm, we (and Lara) are all in very safe hands.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Backed by Crystal Dynamics, Story Kitchen, Legendary Television, and Amazon MGM Studios, the series is part of a larger deal to expand the Tomb Raider universe across film and TV. Amazon\u2019s head of global television called the heroine &#8220;one of the most recognizable and iconic video game characters of all time.&#8221; Amazon promises the new shoe will &#8220;honor legacy&#8221; while also delivering on &#8220;fresh adventures.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\"><em>Tomb Raider<\/em> on Amazon Prime: What We Know So Far<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"mb-4\">\n<li class=\"ml-4 list-disc\"\/>\n<li class=\"ml-4 list-disc\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Other Confirmed <em>Tomb Raider <\/em>Cast: None announced yet<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"ml-4 list-disc\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Showrunner\/Writer: Phoebe Waller-Bridge (co-showrunner with Chad Hodge)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"ml-4 list-disc\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Director: Jonathan van Tulleken<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"ml-4 list-disc\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Release Date: TBD\u2014likely late 2026 or 2027<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"ml-4 list-disc\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Other notable Lara Croft actors from live-action adaptations: Angelina Jolie (Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, 2001; Lara Croft: Tomb Raider \u2013 The Cradle of Life, 2003); Alicia Vikander (Tomb Raider, 2018)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><i>This story was originally reported by <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mensjournal.com\/news\/amazons-tomb-raider-series-finally-gets-a-start-date-first-confirmed-star\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Men's Journal;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Men&#8217;s Journal<\/a> on Sep 3, 2025, where it first appeared in the <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mensjournal.com\/news\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:News;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">News<\/a> section.
