Tomb Raider series marks a significant reboot of the franchise, with Turner stepping into a role previously associated with global stars. The project is being written and executive produced by Phoebe Waller-Bridge, known for her work on Fleabag.
The series also features a notable ensemble cast including Sigourney Weaver, Jason Isaacs and Martin Bobb-Semple. Production had commenced earlier this year, signalling a major push by Amazon MGM Studios into large-scale action storytelling for streaming audiences.
