Amazon Prime Video's Tomb Raider TV series has added Sigourney Weaver, Jason Isaacs, Celia Imrie, Bill Paterson and others to its cast. We already knew Turner won out the lead Lara Croft role. The series, an adaptation of the popular video games, hails from co-showrunners Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Chad Hodge; Jonathan Van Tulleken (Dope Thief, Shogun) will direct and executive produce. The canon cast and characters now includes: Related Stories Business Amid CES Kickoff, Amazon Is Ready to Power Up Its Sports Advertising Business Movies 'Avatar: Fire and Ash' Star Trinity Bliss Talks Growing Up on Pandora and Starting a Swear Jar for James Cameron Martin Bobb-Semple is Zip, Lara Croft's long-standing tech support and friend. Jason Isaacs is Atlas DeMornay, Laura's uncle. Bill Paterson is Winston, the longstanding Croft family butler. The others are: Jack Bannon is Gerry, Lara's personal pilot and snack collector. John Heffernan is David, an exhausted government official who finds himself tangled up in Lara's unusual world. Celia Imrie is Francine, the head of advancement at the British Museum, focused solely on raising funds and glasses of champagne. Paterson Joseph is Thomas Warner, a senior government official brought in to clean up an almighty mess. Sasha Luss is Sasha, a fierce, deeply competitive new adversary of Lara's. Juliette Motamed is Georgia, a devoted, by-the-books curator at the British Museum, dedicated to the "proper" preservation of history. Sigourney Weaver is Evelyn Wallis, a mysterious, high-flying woman who is keen to exploit Lara's talents. August Wittgenstein is Lukas, an illegal raider who shares history with Lara in more ways than one. Turner, whose recent credits include HBO Max's The Staircase and the ITV/CW miniseries Joan, will be the third actress to play the iconic video game character in a live-action adaptation of Tomb Raider. Angelina Jolie and Alicia Vikander took on the role in previous feature films. "I've been a long-time fan of Tomb Raider and the character of Lara. She has always felt for me, very emboldened in a male dominated world," Turner said in a statement provided on Tuesday. "She's a fierce female role model!" "Tomb Raider boasts a plethora of iconic characters. I am thrilled to have been able to bring some personal and fan favourites to the screen while also introducing a few new rascals of our own to the mix," Waller-Bridge said. "This cast is beyond my wildest dreams!" "Tomb Raider has always been defined by bold storytelling and unforgettable characters, and these new cast members bring incredible depth and gravitas to the series," Peter Friedlander, the head of Amazon MGM Studios, added. "With talents like Sigourney Weaver and Jason Isaacs joining the ensemble, we're elevating this world in exciting new ways, and can't wait for our global Prime Video audience to experience this next chapter of Tomb Raider." Waller-Bridge, an avowed fan of the video game franchise, began developing Tomb Raider in early 2023, and Prime Video placed a series order for the show in May 2024. Cyrstal Dynamics (which developed the Tomb Raider game franchise), Story Kitchen and Amazon MGM Studios are producing the series. Waller-Bridge executive produces via her Wells Street Productions. Hodge, Van Tulleken, Wells Street's Jenny Robins, Story Kitchen's Dmitri M. Johnson, Mike Goldberg and Timothy I. Stevenson, Michael Scheel and Legendary Television also exec produce.
