Fans of the iconic adventurer can rejoice: Netflix has renewed the animated series "Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft" for a second season, bringing more action, mysteries, and a new journey for the heroine. After a first season exploring Lara's relationship with her past and the challenges of facing grief, the new season will focus on building a team around her.
In the plot of the next season, Lara Croft and her friend Sam Nishimura embark on a global mission to recover the legendary Orisha masks, powerful artifacts that hide enigmatic secrets and abilities. In addition to the natural challenges and traps along the way, the two friends will face a new antagonist: a mysterious billionaire who will stop at nothing to seize the masks and their powers.
According to showrunner Tasha Huo, the new season promises a Lara more integrated into the world around her, expanding her relationships and overcoming the isolation of the first episodes. “Lara has always been the lone adventurer, but this season, we’ll see her journey towards forming a true team,” reveals Tasha. This transformation of the character will expand Lara's dynamic beyond her role as a “lone wolf,” as she seeks the support of friends to face increasingly intense enemies and challenges.
In addition to the new plot details, we know that the new season of "Tomb Raider" promises even more impactful action sequences and detailed visuals, taking Lara and Sam to various international locations. With a combination of mystery, history, and a touch of mysticism, the second season aims to satisfy old fans and win over new ones.
While Netflix has yet to reveal a release date, the first season is available on the platform for anyone who wants to relive Lara's journey or learn about the beginning of her evolution into the video game legend we know today.
