Hayley Atwell returns to voice Lara Croft as we follow her journey.
While the first season only landed this month, Netflix have already confirmed there’s more Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft coming.
The animated show, which saw Marvel star Hayley Atwell take on the voice of the iconic video game character, will be back for another outing.
While season 1 of the show served as an origin story of sorts, season 2 looks to advance the character towards her legendary Tomb Raider status.
Here’s the synopsis for Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft season 2:
When adventurer Lara Croft discovers a trail of stolen African Orisha masks, she joins forces with her best friend Sam to retrieve the precious artifacts. Lara’s thrilling new adventure takes her around the globe as she delves deeper into the hidden secrets of Orisha history, dodges the machinations of a dangerous and enigmatic billionaire who wants the masks for herself, while discovering these relics contain dark secrets and a power that defies logic. Power that may, in fact, be divine.
Talking to Netflix’s Tudum, showrunner Tasha Huo 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.’ ”
The series comes from the Powerhouse Animation studio and Legendary Television for Netflix. Tasha Huo (The Witcher: Blood Origin, Red Sonja) writes and executive produces.
