Amazon's Tomb Raider Series Reportedly Canceled After Prolonged Production Struggles

Sources claim the project is 'dead' following script delays, scheduling conflicts, and tens of millions in development costs, though no official confirmation has been provided.

The Tomb Raider series, announced in May 2024 with Phoebe Waller-Bridge as writer and producer, is reportedly canceled according to multiple sources.
Despite a full season order and significant financial investment, the series lacked a completed script over a year into development.
Sophie Turner, initially attached to star as Lara Croft, is reportedly unavailable due to scheduling conflicts with other projects.
Neither Amazon nor Phoebe Waller-Bridge has officially commented on the cancellation rumors, leaving the project's status uncertain.
Meanwhile, a new Tomb Raider video game by Crystal Dynamics is in development, utilizing Unreal Engine 5 and promising a fresh chapter in the franchise.
