Netflix has announced the new animated series Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft will debut on 10th October 2024.
The events of this show pick up after the video game Survivor trilogy (Tomb Raider; Rise of the Tomb Raider; Shadow of the Tomb Raider) and follow Lara in her next chapter.
The character in the animated series will be voiced by Hayley Atwell and the adventure itself will "explore ancient mysteries and uncover lost truths" across all sorts of "breathtaking and dangerous destinations". Here's a bit more about it from the PR:
"Following the events of the Survivor series, Lara Croft has abandoned her friends to embark on increasingly more perilous solo adventures. But she must return home when a dangerous and powerful Chinese artifact is stolen from Croft Manor by a thief with an uncanny personal connection. Her daring pursuit will take her on an adventure around the world and to the depths of forgotten tombs, where she will be forced to confront her true self and decide just what kind of hero she wants to become."
In other Tomb Raider news, physical versions of Tomb Raider I-III Remastered are now available for pre-order.

Teaser kind of barely gives any information to go off of other than that the CGI parts look incredibly jarring.
We gave up on TimeSplitters for this? Oy...
I'm not excited for any Netflix productions anymore. They are all focused on money, AI-driven, soulless products. No, thanks.
Their animated stuff is often a million times better than the live action stuff. That CGI is certainly… a choice, though. Reminds me of that one joke in School Rumble where it suddenly pivots into The Matrix.
High chance it’ll be rubbish, but at least you’re not calling it an anime like IGN does.
When did a bow and arrow become Lara’s signature weapon? I miss her dual wielding pistols.
Well, to be fair, it does look more like an anime than an actual animated whatever. Seems like they forgot they were not making just a collection of pictures XD
Funny how Netflix seems to be constantly releasing new shows, just not a single one of them grabbed my attention. Really hope I'm not their target audience XD
@Jireland92 Id say since 2013 with the Tomb Raider reboot. That and Rise's focus on survival and stealth over action and tomb exploration cemented modern Lara with the bow and arrow imagery.
@beartown I'd say the original Castlevania show was pretty good.
The other one was decent at best.
In otherwords yeah I agree.
Lora Croft as some might prefer..
Kinda hope they cast Hayley Atwell for the live-action series too, but Hollywood probably thinks she's too old.
Netflix killed enough Frenchises and also messes around with History, deeply avoid.
@Jireland92
Since the reboot trilogy I think. The first one came out during the peak of The Hunger Games so bow wielding heroines was in-fashion is my guess.
I agree the dual pistols should come back.
I really wish they'd give these action adult cartoons a more unique look other than the bland, flat style they've been leaning towards since...I wanna say Castlevania.
Can't say I ever look forward to any shows in this silly woke agenda era but I'll probably give it a chance.
Just give us LoL:Arcane Season 2 though Netflix.. please.. I don't even play LoL but that shows a masterpiece.
Finally, some interesting Nintendo news
This looks ok, but way too serious again. I get why they change certain aspects of a series, but for me the cheeky humour and silly stunts were part of the reason I fell in love with Tomb Raider.
The new stuff is all perfectly ‘fine’, but I miss goofy Lara who explored alien hives. They have the right to reclaim that territory from Uncharted now.
I'm expecting yet another terrible video game adaptation.
This version of the character will never be the real Lara Croft to me.
Called tombraider but she'll no longer be raiding tombs because...whoke...
Amazon is making a Tomb Raider series with same treatment as Fallout TV Series.
Why is Lara looking so angry in this? Neither in the games, nor in the previous movies has she been so upset about anything, right?
She looks so angry in this trailer and also has more the build of a guy. I think know what type of shows this will be. I pass.
I'm watching "Relic Hunter". Quality 90's show.
