Netflix just released the official teaser trailer and new images for the upcoming animated series Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft, launching on October 10. The show picks up after the events of the Tomb Raider video game Survivor trilogy (Tomb Raider; Rise of the Tomb Raider; Shadow of the Tomb Raider) and charts the globetrotting heroine’s next chapter.
In the series, Lara Croft has abandoned her friends to embark on increasingly more perilous solo adventures. When a thief with an uncanny personal connection steals dangerous and powerful Chinese artifact the heroine must return home. Her daring pursuit will take her on an adventure around the world and to the depths of forgotten tombs, where she must confront her true self and decide just what kind of hero she wants to become.
Starring Hayley Atwell (Captain America, Mission Impossible 7) as the voice of Ms. Croft, the project also features the voice talents of Allen Maldonado (Heels, The Wonder Years) as tech expert and colleague Zip, and Earl Baylon, who reprises his role from the video game as the voice of Lara’s friend and voice of reason, Jonah Maiava.
Powerhouse Animation Studio produces the animation with Brad Graeber serving as executive producer.
Tasha Huo (The Witcher: Blood Origin, Red Sonja) serves as writer and executive producer, alongside Dmitri M. Johnson; Timothy I. Stevenson; Jacob Robinson; Dallas Dickinson; Noah Hughes; Howard Bliss; and Jen Chambers. Legendary Television produces.
