The Tomb Raider franchise continues to evolve with exciting new projects on the horizon. While fans have long awaited a sequel to the 2018 Tomb Raider film starring Alicia Vikander, a new live-action adaptation is in development. Prime Video is currently working on a Tomb Raider series, with Phoebe Waller-Bridge serving as the writer and producer. Reports suggest that Sophie Turner is in talks to play Lara Croft, offering a fresh take on the iconic adventurer.
In addition to the live-action series, Netflix recently released Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft, an animated series that bridges the gap between the modern Survivor trilogy and the classic Tomb Raider games. The show, which debuted in October 2024, explores Lara’s journey after the events of Shadow of the Tomb Raider. A second season has already been confirmed, focusing on Lara’s quest to find her friend Sam.
For fans of the classic games, Tomb Raider IV–VI Remastered was released in February 2025, bringing enhanced versions of The Last Revelation, Chronicles, and The Angel of Darkness. These remasters feature improved graphics, modern controls, and a new photo mode while maintaining the original gameplay experience.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding a Tomb Raider 2 movie, the franchise remains active across multiple mediums. Whether through animated storytelling, a new live-action interpretation, or nostalgic remasters, Lara Croft’s legacy continues to captivate audiences worldwide. With these exciting projects, it’s clear that Tomb Raider is far from over—it’s only entering a new era.
