What We Know About Tomb Raider: The Legend Of Lara Croft Season 2
Showrunner Tasha Huo spoke about her plans for Lara Croft in the next season. She said, "So Season 1, thematically, is about Lara embracing how her dad dealt with grief, which was isolating. When we meet Lara, she’s very isolated … As we get into Season 2, we’re trying to build Lara’s team over the course of the show, so she goes from isolated hero, who only wants to do things on her own — a lone wolf — to realizing, ‘Actually, I have this really cool team behind me."
Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft is based on the video game series. It takes place after the events of Shadow of the Tomb Raider. Therefore, it fills the gap and ties to the other video games. Back in 2021, Netflix announced that it had ordered an anime adaptation of Tomb Raider, and work started after confirming the staff and cast.
Tomb Raider is one of the most iconic video game series of all time. It is known for thrilling combat and puzzles. As a whole, the franchise has sold over 100 million copies and generated more than $1 billion in sales, making it one of the most successful gaming franchises.
