Amazon is Set to Expand the Tomb Raider Franchise on Streaming and Film
It has been announced that Crystal Dynamics formed a new partnership with Amazon MGM Studios to help expand the franchise's universe with "additional stories" for streaming and film.
As a result of this exciting team-up, Prime Video revealed on its presentation today that it has ordered a live-action Tomb Raider series helmed by Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Fleabag, Killing Eve) as writer and executive producer.

"If I could tell my teenage self this was happening, I think she'd explode. Tomb Raider has been a huge part of my life, and I feel incredibly privileged to be bringing it to television with such passionate collaborators. Lara Croft means a lot to me, as she does to many, and I can't wait to go on this adventure. Bats 'n all," said Phoebe Waller-Bridge.
"I'm so happy to announce that we have ordered the epic, globetrotting series Tomb Raider from the incredibly gifted Emmy-award winner Phoebe Waller-Bridge and the team at Crystal Dynamics," said Jennifer Salke, head of Amazon MGM Studios. "Fans and newcomers can look forward to exhilarating adventures that honour the legacy of this iconic character."
This partnership comes as no surprise since Crystal Dynamics struck a deal with Amazon Games in late 2022 to publish the next Tomb Raider game (TR12), currently being developed in Unreal Engine 5.
"Amazon MGM Studios and Amazon Games are incredible collaborators with a massive reach across the globe, enabling us to expand our Tomb Raider franchise with multiple new adventures and a shared passion for creating impactful, entertaining, emotional experiences for players and viewers throughout every facet of this universe," said Scot Amos, Head of Studio at Crystal Dynamics. "These timeless stories span all media platforms to meet audiences where they want to engage with Tomb Raider. It's a critical step towards our future with fans everywhere."
The show will follow the adventures of our beloved heroine and is set to premiere exclusively on Prime Video. Crystal Dynamics and Amazon MGM Studios are co-producing the series alongside dj2 Entertainment and Legendary Television—who are already working closely with the game developer on Netflix's awaited animated series.
