Head of Amazon and MGM Studios Jen Salke has announced today at Amazon’s Upfront event in New York that a brand new Tomb Raider television series is in the works following rumours circulating as early as last year.
The series is helmed by none other than Phoebe Waller-Bridge, creator of the critically acclaimed series Fleabag as well as contributing to writing for Solo: A Star Wars Story and the latest James Bond film No Time To Die.
The production is described as an “epic” and “globe-trotting” series by Salke.
On the series being picked up, Waller-Bridge said “If I could tell my teenage self this was happening I think she’d explode. Tomb Raider has been a huge part of my life and I feel incredibly privileged to be bringing it to television with such ionate collaborators. Lara Croft means a lot to me, as she does to many, and I can’t wait to go on this adventure. Bats ‘n all”
The announcement comes off the back of Amazon announcing a slew of other video-game adaptations, including the very popular recently released Fallout adaptation.
No casting or release details were confirmed as of yet.
If that wasn’t enough Tomb Raider for you, there’s a new game coming at some point in the near future, too.
Lara for days, it seems.
