Overview
- Turner said she has trained eight hours a day, five days a week since February last year and learned she has a recurring back problem during the process.
- Prime Video confirmed production is underway and released a first-look image of Turner as Lara Croft on January 15.
- The series is led by writer–executive producer–co-showrunner Phoebe Waller-Bridge, with Jonathan Van Tulleken directing and Chad Hodge as co-showrunner.
- A starry ensemble includes Sigourney Weaver, Jason Isaacs and Celia Imrie, with roles reported for Weaver as Evelyn Wallis, Isaacs as Atlas DeMornay and Imrie as a British Museum official.
- Online response to the first look was divided, and GameStop’s "This is not Lara Croft" post drew widespread pushback and millions of views; no release date is set, though industry reporting points to 2027.
