It you're a fan of the franchise, the best we can tell you is that sometimes the pop culture gods give, and sometimes they take away. Earlier this week, we learned that production on writer and executive producer Phoebe Waller-Bridge's (Fleabag) Tomb Raider series was set to get underway in January 2026, with Sophie Turner (Game of Thrones) taking on the role of Lara Croft. While that's great news on the live-action front, things aren't so good over on the animated side. Variety reports that Netflix's Hayley Atwell-starring Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft will end with the upcoming second season (premiering on December 11th). Along with Atwell, the series also starred O-T Fagbenle as Eshu, Allen Maldonado as Zip, and Earl Baylon as Jonah Maiava. Here's a look at the official Season 2 overview, which also notes The Boys star Karen Fukuhara is back for the final run:
"When adventurer Lara Croft (voiced by Hayley Atwell) discovers a trail of stolen African Orisha masks, she joins forces with her best friend Sam (Karen Fukuhara) to retrieve the precious artifacts. Lara's thrilling new adventure takes her around the globe as she delves deeper into the hidden secrets of Orisha history, dodging the machinations of a dangerous and enigmatic billionaire who wants the masks for herself, while discovering these relics contain dark secrets and a power that defies logic. Power that may, in fact, be divine."
From Legendary Television, Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft is executive produced and written by Tasha Huo (The Witcher: Blood Origin, Red Sonja).
