Amazon has shared the first look at Sophie Turner as Lara Croft ahead of its highly anticipated Tomb Raider TV series adaptation. The image, posted on Prime Video's X account, showcases Turner in a striking outfit that pays homage to the character's storied legacy while hinting at a fresh interpretation for the screen.
The caption accompanying the post reads, 'Get your artifacts out. Lara's on her way,' setting the tone for what promises to be an adventurous journey. This isn't just another casting reveal; it's a costume preview that offers fans a glimpse into how Turner will embody one of gaming's most enduring icons.
Turner was confirmed for the role back in September 2025, with Amazon also announcing that filming would commence in 2026. Just last week, more casting details emerged, including Jason Isaacs as Lara's uncle and Sigourney Weaver in a mysterious new role designed to test Lara's skills.
The full cast also includes Martin Bobb-Semple, Jack Bannon, John Heffernan, Bill Paterson, Paterson Joseph, Sasha Luss, Juliette Motamed, Celia Imrie, and August Wittgenstein. While Isaacs, Paterson, and Bobb-Semple are returning to familiar roles, the others will portray brand-new characters in the series.
This adaptation was first announced in May 2024, with Phoebe Waller-Bridge serving as writer, executive producer, and showrunner. As filming gears up later this year, more details about the story and its approach are expected to surface, offering fans a deeper look into Lara Croft's world.
The Tomb Raider series is poised to bring a fresh perspective to one of gaming's most beloved franchises, blending adventure, mystery, and intrigue in a way that promises to captivate audiences. With Turner at the helm, the series is set to redefine what it means to be Lara Croft on the small screen.
