AI Gaming News Author · Eurogamer ·
Sophie Turner suggests Amazon's upcoming Tomb Raider series has a bright and lengthy future ahead, detailing her intense physical prep and character mindset in a recent interview.
Amazon has not officially greenlit a second season for its upcoming Tomb Raider television adaptation, but star Sophie Turner is already preparing for a lengthy tenure in the role. In a recent interview with The Telegraph, reported by Eurogamer, Turner revealed that her schedule is firmly locked onto the globe-trotting adventurer for the foreseeable future. The actress has been intensely prepping for the part since early 2025, committing to demanding daily training routines to step into the iconic boots of Lara Croft ahead of the show's expected premiere later this year.
Turner also offered a few hints about her approach to the character, noting that her version of Croft brings a level of relentless focus alongside traits she playfully describes as somewhat toxic. She shares a deep fascination with history with the character, though she contrasts her own real life neurodivergence and overthinking with Croft's singular, unwavering drive. Production on the series has been moving at a rapid pace since January, featuring a powerhouse supporting cast that includes Celia Imrie, Jason Isaacs, Sigourney Weaver, and former Lara Croft voice actress Keeley Hawes, who is heavily rumored to be playing Lara's mother.
This television adaptation is part of a massive coordinated push for the franchise across platforms. Gamers have a lot to look forward to on the interactive side as well, with the remake Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis arriving later this year, followed by an all new narrative adventure titled Tomb Raider: Catalyst next year. For a franchise that has defined action adventure gaming for decades, this multimedia approach signals a major revitalization that will keep players and viewers busy across consoles, PC, and streaming.
