The Legend of Tomb Raider: Lara Croft

New Tomb Raider Animated Series Premieres on Netflix in October

By August Tales

Our beloved archaeologist-adventurer Lara Croft is back in action. After a substantial hiatus from films, and only appearing in video games, the character finds herself on a new adventure this October. Netflix gears up to bring the iconic character back to our screens with a fresh animated series, titled, “Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft.” Prime Video is also joining the Croft revival with its upcoming live-action show.

Marvel’s Hayley Atwell, known for her role as Agent Peggy Carter, is set to voice the titular adventurer. Brace for action, as the new series lands amidst a fascinating blend of danger, adventure, and intrigue.

The Story Unfolds in ‘Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft’

The new series takes off following the events of the successful Tomb Raider Survivor trilogy (Tomb Raider; Rise of the Tomb Raider; Shadow of the Tomb Raider). It maps out Lara Croft’s thrilling journey, extending even after more than 25 years of her popping up on our screens.

Hayley Atwell breathes life into the character of our globe-trotting heroine, Lara Croft, veering her through ancient mysteries and lost truths across awe-inspiring yet precarious destinations.

Returning Cast and Exciting Twists Await

Hayley Atwell’s commanding tone isn’t the only familiar voice you’d catch in the series, though. Allen Maldonado (Zip) and Earl Baylon make their return as Jonah from the Tomb Raider video games. After the Survivor trilogy’s frenzy, Croft sets out solo, leaving her comrades behind. However, her journey is anything but relaxing.

The plot thickens when an intruder steals an impactful Chinese artifact from Croft Manor, forcing Lara Croft to take chase. Making matters even more personal, the thief shares a mutual history with Croft. Isn’t that always the culprit?

The anticipation builds as we await the release of Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft on Netflix, hitting screens on October 10. It’s time to mark your calendars because Lara’s adventurous ride is about to begin.
