The Hollywood Reporter<\/a> claims that a new TV series based on the popular video game franchise \u2013 which has already been adapted for the big screen on three occasions \u2013 is currently in the development stages, with Waller-Bridge attached to write the scripts.<\/p>\nIt is understood that Waller-Bridge is not planning to star in the series, but she will also serve as an executive producer alongside Amazon\u2019s former head of comedy and drama Ryan Andolina, and former head of overall deals Amanda Greenblatt.<\/p>

Lead character Lara Croft has previously been played in live-action projects by Angeline Jolie and Alicia Vikander, with the former starring in two films in 2001 and 2003 and the latter taking on the role for the 2018 reboot, while Camilla Luddington, Keeley Hawes, and Minnie Driver have all voiced the character in a number of games.<\/p>\n
There had initially been plans for Vikander to reprise the role in a sequel to the 2018 film, with writer Amy Jump having completed a script under the working title Tomb Raider: Obsidian and Kill List\u2019s Ben Wheatley signing on to direct before that pair were replaced by Lovecraft Country\u2019s Misha Green.<\/p>\n
However, it was announced last year that the follow-up was no longer going ahead \u2013 presumably paving the way for this new small-screen reboot.<\/p>
