The animated series “Tomb Raider” has been renewed for a second season on Netflix

Netflix is ​​planning a new adventure series for its version of Lara Croft.

The streamer has renewed its animated series Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft for a second season. The recovery was relatively quick, coming just two weeks after the eight-episode first season premiered.

Based on the long term tomb Raider video game franchise, The legend of Lara Croft follows the adventurer (voiced by Hayley Atwell) after the events of Square Enix's video game reboot trilogy. The show aims to fill a gap in Croft's story between the reboot trilogy (which served as a sort of origin story for the character) and the original games.

The second season, according to Netflix, will see Lara discover a trail of stolen African Orisha masks. “He joins forces with his best friend Sam (voiced by Karen Fukuhara in season 1) to recover the precious artifacts,” the logline reads. “Lara's thrilling new adventure takes her around the world as she delves deeper into the hidden secrets of Orisha's history, dodge the machinations of a dangerous and enigmatic billionaire who wants the masks for himself, while discovering that these relics contain dark secrets and a power that defies logic.

The first season's voice cast also includes Allen Maldonado and Earl Baylon in regular roles, while Richard Armitage, Zoe Boyle, Roxana Ortega, and Nolan North are recurring.

Legendary television produces The legend of Lara Croft. Tasha Huo (The Witcher: Blood Origin) is writer and executive producer; other EPs include dj2 Entertainment founder and CEO Dmitri M. Johnson, Timothy I. Stevenson, Jacob Robinson (via his company Tractor Pants), Dallas Dickinson and Noah Hughes of video game developer Crystal Dynamics, Howard Bliss and Jen Chambers.
