Netflix Cancels Tomb Raider Cartoon Following Prime Video’s Announcement

Netflix has decided to wrap up its animated Tomb Raider series, The Legend of Lara Croft, after its upcoming second season. This news may come as a disappointment to fans, especially with Amazon Prime Video’s recent announcement about their upcoming live-action Tomb Raider series starring Sophie Turner and with Phoebe Waller-Bridge as the head writer/showrunner.

While some may speculate that Netflix’s decision is linked to Prime Video’s announcement, it’s important to note that Prime Video had been planning their series since 2023. Without exclusive TV rights to the franchise, legal issues don’t seem to be the reason behind Netflix’s choice to end the animated series.

With all that said, there are some confirmed details worth getting excited about. The second season of Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft, featuring the voice talent of Hayley Atwell as Lara Croft, is set to release on Netflix on December 11. This season will follow Lara as she embarks on a thrilling adventure to retrieve stolen African Orisha masks, teaming up with her best friend Sam along the way.

So, mark your calendars for December 11 to catch the final season of Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft on Netflix. And if you’re a fan of pop culture, be sure to stay updated with Popverse for more upcoming events and news on movies, TV shows, comics, games, and more.
