Phoebe Waller-Bridge is writing a 'Tomb Raider' series for Amazon.
Lara Croft is headed from the Amazon rain forest to Amazon Studios. The Tomb Raider franchise will return in the form of a streaming TV series written and executive-produced by Phoebe Waller-Bridge according to a report from The Hollywood Reporter.
According to the report, the video game-based franchise has found a new home at Amazon, and a writer in the form of the in-demand Waller-Bridge, who recently renewed a development deal with the streamer. It is currently unclear if Waller-Bridge will also star. Last year, it was reported that MGM had allowed the Tomb Raider rights to lapse, setting off a bidding war for the franchise; Amazon apparently won that war, resulting in today's announcement.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY The Tomb Raider series of video games began in 1996, focusing on British archeologist Lara Croft as she adventured her way through dungeons and death traps.
