The franchise started as an action-adventure video game series, which put gamers in the combat boots of a fictional British archaeologist and adventurer Lara Croft, as she travelled around the world in search of lost artefacts and locations.

Waller-Bridge’s series is part of a deal between video game developer Crystal Dynamics and Amazon MGM Studios, to develop new Tomb Raider stories into TV series and films.
