The upcoming series from Phoebe Waller-Bridge will be part of a shared canon, not just another standalone interpretation.
The Story Kitchen production company's website clarifies that the project Phoebe Waller-Bridge is working on for Amazon will be part of an "ambitious reimagining of the Lara Croft universe" and will "unify the games and television project into a single narrative universe."
This means that the Tomb Raider series with Sophie Turner and the next game in the series, which Crystal Dynamics is working on, may be connected in terms of plot. However, the wording does not specify whether it is about future games or already released ones — specific releases are not mentioned.
It is known that filming of the series will begin in early 2026. Crystal Dynamics, meanwhile, is going through a difficult period: in November, the studio conducted its third wave of layoffs for 2025, but promised to "soon share impressive results." It seems that fans of Lara Croft's adventures can only be patient.
