Amazon MGM Studios has begun production on its Tomb Raider TV series for Prime Video, releasing the first official image of Sophie Turner as Lara Croft. Building on the recently announced ensemble cast—including Sigourney Weaver and Jason Isaacs—filming started January 15, 2026, eyeing an early 2027 debut.
Amazon MGM Studios confirmed on January 16, 2026, that principal photography has commenced on the Prime Video Tomb Raider series after years of development. The debut image showcases Sophie Turner—familiar from Game of Thrones and X-Men—as the iconic Lara Croft, marking the third live-action iteration following Angelina Jolie's 2001-2003 films and Alicia Vikander's 2018 reboot.
Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Fleabag, Killing Eve) is creator, writer, executive producer, and co-showrunner with Chad Hodge; Jonathan Van Tulleken directs and executive produces. Inspired by the 1996 video game franchise from Crystal Dynamics, the series follows Croft's artifact-hunting adventures worldwide, with plot details undisclosed but hints of Waller-Bridge's witty, psychological style.
The cast builds on prior announcements, featuring Jason Isaacs as uncle Atlas DeMornay, Sigourney Weaver as Evelyn Wallis, and others including Martin Bobb-Semple (Zip), Bill Paterson (Winston), and new additions like Jack Bannon (Gerry) and Sasha Luss (rival Sasha). Full details available in earlier coverage.
Executive producers include Amazon MGM Studios, Crystal Dynamics, Waller-Bridge's Wells Street Films, Story Kitchen, and Legendary Television. This joins Amazon's video game adaptation slate like God of War and Fallout. No firm premiere date, but early 2027 on Prime Video is anticipated.
