Fallout on Amazon Prime has proved super popular since its April 2024 release, so why not try some other gaming IP? Well, it seems the folks over at Amazon have wised up - announcing a brand-new Tomb Raider series for Prime Video.
Even though Tomb Raider isn't a stranger to transmedia releases, it has been a short while since the series came to the big screen. The last Tomb Raider film landed back in 2018, 17 years after the Angelina Jolie-studded movie from 2001. Anyway, it's returning as a TV show this time around, with Phoebe Waller-Bridge set as writer and executive producer.
Funnily enough, Amazon Games announced a partnership with Tomb Raider developer Crystal Dynamics on a brand-new game entry back in 2022, so it seems that the two entities are only deepening their relationship here. The game is set to be a "single-player, narrative-driven action-adventure" that serves as the "next chapter to Lara Croft’s legendary explorations" in Tomb Raider.
Neither the upcoming game nor the TV show have release dates just yet, but we'll drop a link to some more info about the Amazon Games title down below.

Phoebe is very talented so the story should be fine if she sticks to the lore. I'm more interested in who they cast as Lara tbh.
@BIG3 agreed yh
I originally read it as them casting her as Lara for a sec lol
I wish they could get Vikander back, really liked her in the film.
@Cherip-the-Ripper Yeah, I go further and make this series a continuation of that movie. But they won't. They'll want to reboot it all - again. 🙄
No thanks they had enough tries at this so far time for a break
This is going to be a disaster on so many levels. I’ve seen nothing and have zero interest already 🤣
Amazon Studios made that abomination called Rings of Power. Hard pass.
@Cherip-the-Ripper Yeah. Vikander was great. Did the character justice.
If as good as fallout, I'm all in.
@Utena-mobile I still refuse to watch the woke garbage known as rings of power. Fallout was not woke and excellent so far.
hmmm, after her involvements in Bond and Indy I don't have much faith in this! but hopefully wrong
I'm thinking it's going to be more Waller-Bridge super serious and less Angelina Jolie fun action in todays PC society. Probably going to be boring
@GuyinPA75 The Rings of Power woke? You haven't watched The Wheel of Time 🤣. An interracial community whose story is impossible to believe, especially the love story, because the actors are not believing it themselves? Well, there are a few good bits, the magic is cool and season 2 is much better. I need to watch Fallout. @Utena-mobile I liked The Rings of Power 😅😁.
I just hope that this Tomb Raider TV series makes sense. My favourite Lara is from Underworld. There she is cool and confident and doesn't try to be super deep or super feminist. She is very inconsistent in the last game, Shadow of the Tomb Raider.
Now I think that the only one to that makes sense and doesn't try to be politically correct is Game of Thrones, except the last seasons that without the books became stranded and pointless and even boring! Also, House of the Dragon.
