Netflix’s Tomb Raider: The Legend Of Lara Croft Renewed For Season 2
Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft premiered earlier this month on Netflix, but the animated series has already been renewed for a second season. And considering that Netflix has already debuted a picture from Season 2, it looks like the renewal was ordered long before the show’s debut.
Netflix made the announcement on its Tudum site, along with a picture of Lara (Hayley Atwell) reunited with her best friend, Sam Nishimura (The Boys’ Karen Fukuhara), whom she largely lost contact with following the events of the 2013 Tomb Raider reboot. The eight-episode season took place after the events of 2018’s Shadow of the Tomb Raider, and were meant to bridge the Lara of the reboot trilogy with her iconic persona from the original Tomb Raider games. Season 1 had a score of 65 on Metacritic, which indicated generally favorable reviews.
Lara and Sam were kept separated in the first season of this series, but the closing moments of the season finale hinted that the next story would revolve around Sam and Lara.
