Amazon’s Tomb Raider series, which was previously facing difficulties but is now progressing well, has announced several new characters and the actors cast to play them.
The show hasn’t started filming yet, with production expected to begin sometime this month. However, it looks like it will feature a strong cast of actors.
Okay, so the big news everyone already knows? Sophie Turner, you know, Sansa Stark from Game of Thrones, is playing Lara. They announced that a while back, but it’s still awesome!
We now know that Turner will star alongside Sigourney Weaver, Jason Isaacs, and Celia Imrie.
I have to say, Paterson Joseph, who was brilliant as Johnson in Peep Show, totally deserves a shout-out. He was just amazing, and we couldn’t leave him out!
Here’s a full breakdown of the newly unveiled cast from Amazon:
Canon Roles from the Tomb Raider series:
- Martin Bobb-Semple is Zip

We’re still a ways off from seeing the show, but the creator seems really excited about it. They recently said they’ve always been a fan of Tomb Raider and Lara Croft, admiring how strong and independent she is, especially in a world often dominated by men. They see her as a powerful female role model.
Meanwhile, writer Phoebe Waller-Bridge says the casting is beyond her “wildest dreams”.
