More Bad News for Tomb Raider Fans

The live-action series, which will bring the Tomb Raider universe to television, has once again received disappointing news. The project, developed by Amazon MGM Studios, has been in development for a long time, but recent announcements have revealed that production has been delayed again. Fans eagerly awaiting the new Lara Croft television adaptation will have to test their patience even further.

Tomb Raider Series Delayed Again

According to Production Weekly, filming on the Tomb Raider series has been postponed until the first quarter of 2026. This delay highlights the lack of concrete progress despite the series’ announcement nearly two years ago. It was previously claimed that the process was stalled due to creative disagreements regarding the script.

Past reports have mentioned Sophie Turner as the series’ lead, and suggested that negotiations were underway for the role of Lara Croft. However, both the characters and the story details remain shrouded in mystery. There’s no definitive information other than that the series will be an “epic globetrotting adventure.” This, in turn, is fueling growing anticipation among viewers eagerly awaiting the series.

Tomb Raider adaptations have been frequently discussed in the past. The Angelina Jolie-starring films and the 2018 reboot starring Alicia Vikander have maintained the series’ popularity over the years. How the new series will carry on this legacy is among the most eagerly awaited questions.

The production is being helmed by Phoebe Waller-Bridge as writer and producer. Waller-Bridge has previously stated that Tomb Raider has been a significant part of her life and has expressed her passionate commitment to the project. However, the constant delays raise questions about the series’ future. Fans are hoping that the highly anticipated series will finally take a concrete step forward with the start of filming in 2026.
