In a different corner of the Tomb Raider universe, Netflix has tapped into a lucrative niche with video game-based animated series. Following the success of Arcane and Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft has hit the streaming platform. Just weeks after its premiere, Netflix announced a second season, extending the adventures of one of gaming's most iconic female protagonists.
The upcoming episodes will see Samantha, a character introduced in Tomb Raider (2013) and featured in several comics, teaming up with Lara Croft. Together, they will embark on a quest to retrieve invaluable artifacts, promising more action and intrigue for fans of the series.
