Exploring the Tomb Raider Universe: Sophie Turner as Lady Croft in New Amazon Prime Series
A new live-action Tomb Raider series is currently in production for Amazon Prime, featuring Sophie Turner as Lady Croft. Turner expressed her excitement for the project, stating that she believes it will be something special. The series is set in the same universe as the Tomb Raider video games and is expected to debut in 2027.
Sophie Turner, known for her role as Sansa Stark in Game of Thrones, was announced as the live-action Lara Croft in September 2025. She assured fans that Lara is in "very safe hands" for this new series. The show will also feature Sigourney Weaver in an undisclosed role alongside Turner.
The Amazon Prime series will be part of a newly established Tomb Raider unified timeline, which includes the Survivor trilogy games as Lara Croft's canonical origin. The upcoming games, Legacy of Atlantis and Catalyst, are set to expand on Lara's story and introduce new elements to the franchise.
Legacy of Atlantis is a reimagining of Lara Croft's debut in the 1996 game for the PS1, while Catalyst is scheduled to launch in 2027 and will continue Lara's journey after the events of Tomb Raider Underworld. The series aims to connect the live-action television show with the video games to create a unified storytelling universe.
Fans can expect updates on Legacy of Atlantis and Catalyst, as well as the Amazon Prime series, as the 30th anniversary of the Tomb Raider series approaches. The future of Lara Croft's adventures looks promising with the expansion of the franchise across different media platforms.
