Amazon confirms Sophie Turner as Lara Croft in live-action Tomb Raider series

[Karlston]

Filming kicks off next year.

 

Amazon announced today that its live-action Tomb Raider series will feature Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner as Lara Croft. Fleabag creator Phoebe Waller-Bridge will serve as the show’s creator, writer, executive producer, and co-showrunner, and filming will begin in January 2026, Variety reports. The show and Waller-Bridge’s involvement were officially announced last year.

 

“It’s not very often you get to make a show of this scale with a character you grew up loving,” Waller-Bridge said in a statement published by Variety. “Everyone on board is wildly passionate about Lara and are all as outrageous, brave, and hilarious as she is. Get your artifacts out… Croft is coming…

 

The Tomb Raider series is just one of a few video game adaptations in Amazon’s lineup. The second season of its successful Fallout series debuts in December, a God of War series is in development with Ronald D. Moore on board, and the Secret Level anthology series is getting a second season.
