Phoebe Waller-Bridge will serve as creator, writer, and executive producer, while Chad Hodge has boarded the show as executive producer and co-showrunner. Jonathan van Tulleken will serve as director and executive producer. The "Tomb Raider" series was developed under a pact between Crystal Dynamics and Amazon MGM Studios which comes via Story Kitchen's first-look deal with the studio to develop additional "Tomb Raider" stories into series and films.
In a statement, Waller-Bridge said the following: "I'm so excited to announce the formidable Sophie Turner as our Lara alongside this phenomenal creative team. 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."
The series is executive produced by Crystal Dynamics; Waller-Bridge and Jenny Robins via Wells Street Productions; Dmitri M. Johnson, Mike Goldberg and Timothy I. Stevenson of Story Kitchen; Michael Scheel; Hodge; van Tulleken; and Legendary Television. The series is produced by Story Kitchen, Crystal Dynamics and Amazon MGM Studios. Waller-Bridge is currently under an overall deal at Amazon MGM Studios.
Vernon Sanders, head of global television at Prime Video & Amazon MGM Studios had this to say about the project: "Lara Croft is one of the most recognizable and iconic video game characters of all time. We are thrilled to have the wonderfully talented Sophie Turner bring this character to life who is defined by her courage, strength, and unshakable resolve. Led by the brilliant Phoebe Waller-Bridge, this series will honor the beloved 'Tomb Raider' legacy while delivering fresh adventures to fans worldwide"
