Amazon’s Prime Video Tomb Raider show has reportedly added The White Lotus alum Jason Isaacs to its cast.
News of the latest addition to the latest live-action video game series adaptation’s growing roster comes from Deadline, which reports that Isaacs has boarded in a mystery role. It’s another major addition for the Tomb Raider series, which already includes Sophie Turner (Game of Thrones) as Lara Croft, with Sigourney Weaver (Avatar: Fire and Ash) said to still be in talks to join, too.
Though details on both Isaacs and Weaver’s roles remain under wraps, it’s clear the team behind the Prime Video project is picking up steam as they plan to begin production January 19. We first learned about Amazon’s plans to develop a show based on the iconic video game adventurer when Fleabag mastermind Phoebe Waller-Bridge was announced as creator, writer, and executive producer. It didn’t get an official greenlight until May 2024, with Turner finally locked in as Lara Croft in September of this year.
Tomb Raider developer Crystal Dynamics, Amazon MGM, and Story Kitchen are working on the show, with Chad Hodge attached as co-showrunner and executive producer. Jonathan van Tulleken (Shogun) is also in the mix as an executive producer and director.
We’ll need to wait a while longer to learn more about Isaacs’ part in the new Tomb Raider show, with its release date, plot details, and additional casting information still yet to be announced. Story Kitchen recently told fans to expect a project that will “reinvent the franchise on a massive scale,” teasing that it will be interconnected with the video game universe it spawned from.
Just because Lara Croft is taking another stab in the world of live-action doesn’t mean her time in video game has come to an end. Last week, Crystal Dynamics revealed two new projects for the series: Tomb Raider: Catalyst and Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis. The latter is a remake of the franchise’s first entry, and the former is a brand-new installment, with both announced for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X | S at The Game Awards 2025 last week.
