Jason Isaacs is the Latest Actor to Join Amazon MGM's Live-Action TOMB RAIDER Series

Emmy-nominated actor Jason Isaacs (Harry Potter films, The OA, The White Lotus) has joined the cast of Amazon MGM’s live-action Tomb Raider series that is in the works at Amazon MGM Studios.

It has not been revealed who Isaacs is playing. As previously announced, Game of Thrones alum Sophie Turner is set for the lead role of Lara Croft, with Sigourney Weaver also eyeing to star.

Based on the video game franchise, following the adventures of world-famous archaeologist and adventurer Lara Croft (Turner), the Tomb Raider TV series’ plot is being kept under wraps.

Created, written and exec produced by Phoebe Waller-Bridge, the project has been gestating for some time after first being announced in 2022. It was officially greenlighted in May 2024, with Turner coming aboard to star six months later, and finally begins production on January 19.

Chad Hodge is co-showrunning, as well as exec producing alongside Jonathan Van Tulleken (Shōgun, Dope Thief), who is also directing.
