Prime Video’s Tomb Raider written by Fleabag’s Phoebe Waller-Bridge

Move over, Fallout...

A new Prime Video Tomb Raider television series will be written and produced by Fleabag‘s Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Amazon today announced.

The series coincides with a new “single-player, narrative-driven adventure” video game being developed by Crystal Dynamics in Unreal Engine 5.

“With great IP, the possibilities are endless,” said Amazon Games’ Christoph Hartmann in a press release. “The richness and depth of the fiction allows the Tomb Raider series from Prime Video and the video game from Amazon Games to tell separate stories about Lara Croft’s adventures.

“We’re honored that Crystal Dynamics has entrusted Amazon with this iconic franchise, and we’re looking forward to seeing where this collaboration takes us,” Hartmann continued.

Waller-Bridge also starred in Disney’s recent Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.

The Prime Video Tomb Raider series follows another video game-themed show in Fallout, and also follows a Netflix Tomb Raider animated series starring Hayley Atwell.
