Tomb Raider TV Series Rumored to be Cancelled

Rumors are swirling that the highly anticipated Tomb Raider TV series on Prime Video might not be happening after all. Sources close to the production have revealed that the scripts for the series were experiencing delays and were not quite ready for filming, leading to speculation about its future.

Actress Sophie Turner, best known for her role in Game of Thrones, was reportedly a top choice to play the iconic Lara Croft in the series. However, recent reports suggest that her involvement may be uncertain at this time. Prime Video has remained tight-lipped on the matter when approached for comments by Daily Mail.

The series had initially received the green light under the leadership of Amazon MGM Studios boss Jennifer Salke. But with Salke’s recent departure from the company amid internal conflicts, the fate of the Tomb Raider series now hangs in the balance. Reports indicate that Salke was overseeing the project personally, and without her involvement, the series may be in jeopardy.

According to industry insider Matthew Belloni, the Tomb Raider series underwent multiple rounds of script development, with significant financial investments made in the process. Despite high hopes for the show, it seems that it may not be moving forward as planned.

While the TV series might be on hold, fans of the Tomb Raider franchise can still look forward to a new game from Crystal Dynamics, to be published by Amazon. The game is unrelated to the TV series and was never intended to be linked to it.

If Prime Video ultimately decides to pull the plug on the Tomb Raider TV show, it would be the latest shakeup at the company. In recent news, Amy Pascal and David Heyman are set to produce the next James Bond movie for Amazon, signaling major changes behind the scenes. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.
