The Amazon Tomb Raider live-action TV show is set to start filming in 2026. 

That's according to Variety, which reports that the series is going to star Sophie Turner of Game of Thrones fame as the titular tomb raider. The Amazon show was greenlit in May 2024, with Phoebe Waller-Bridge working as creator, writer and executive producer for the project. 

“I’m so excited to announce the formidable Sophie Turner as our Lara alongside this phenomenal creative team,” Waller-Bridge said. 

“It’s not very often you get to make a show of this scale with a character you grew up loving. Everyone on board is wildly passionate about Lara and are all as outrageous, brave, and hilarious as she is. Get your artifacts out… Croft is coming…”

Turner added: “I am thrilled beyond measure, to be playing Lara Croft. She’s such an iconic character, who means so much to so many – and I am giving everything I’ve got. They’re massive shoes to fill, following in the steps of Angelina and Alicia with their powerhouse performances, but with Phoebe at the helm, we (and Lara) are all in very safe hands. I can’t wait for you all to see what we have cooking.”
