Even though Netflix has yet to release the pilot episode of its Tomb Raider animation, the streaming service is already working to have the show renewed for a second season.
Ncuti Gatwa, who starred in Sex Education and will play the fifteenth Doctor in Doctor Who, is also expected to join the cast.
Methods: 4 In Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Lara Croft plays a role similar to that of Batman (with one exception).
According to What’s on Netflix, Gatwa will lend his voice to the series’ newest addition, Eshu. The’more’ section of Gatwa’s Spotlight page, where casting calls are posted, has been updated to reflect this new capability.
Starring Hayley Atwell (most commonly known as Peggy Carter in numerous Marvel projects) as Lara Croft, the first animated series of Tomb Raider will focus on events following the completion of the Tomb Raider reboot trilogy in 2018.
Joining Atwell in the new film are Allen Maldonado (Black-ish, The Last OG) as IT expert Zip and Earl Baylon (reprising his role as Jonah Maiava from the reboot trilogy).
The premiere of the first season is currently unannounced, but it’s expected to happen this year. In January, showrunner Tasha Huo reassured viewers that the show will still air, saying, “animation takes a very long time, y’ all, however the wait will deserve it.”
Plenty of fresh Tomb Raider-related information emerged recently. We’re still hard at work on the anime, by the way. The wait will be worth it, though, because animation takes time.
This isn’t the only change coming to Tomb Raider.
Amazon has announced that it will be handling and selling the next Tomb Raider game, and the company also has plans to create a television series centred on the adventures of Lara Croft, complete with her trusty pistol and her travels around the world.
It has been reported that Fleabag and Killing Eve creator Phoebe Waller-Bridge will pen the script for the next Tomb Raider TV series. The change does not involve the star.
