Sophie Turner is officially stepping into Lara Croft’s boots — and Prime Video’s first-look photo proves this reboot is aiming for full franchise revival status.
Prime Video just unveiled the first official image of Sophie Turner as Lara Croft, offering a striking early glimpse at the streaming reboot of ‘Tomb Raider’ — and it’s already the kind of franchise photo drop designed to break the internet.
Turner, best known for her breakout run on ‘Game of Thrones’ and her work in the ‘X-Men’ universe, is seen fully suited up as the iconic archaeologist-adventurer in the debut production still. The image leans into classic Lara Croft iconography in the best way: the signature shorts, dark shades, and twin pistols ready at the hip — a look that instantly signals this version of ‘Tomb Raider’ isn’t shying away from the character’s legacy.
Alongside the photo reveal, Prime Video also confirmed that production on Season 1 is now officially underway, marking a major step forward for the long-anticipated reboot after months of speculation and slow-burn development buzz.

While plot details are still being kept under wraps, the creative team behind the project suggests a serious swing. The series comes from Phoebe Waller-Bridge, who serves as creator, writer, executive producer, and co-showrunner. Waller-Bridge’s involvement alone positions the series as something more ambitious than a standard IP revival — especially given her track record with sharp character work, high tension, and tonal control.
She’ll co-run the series with Chad Hodge, who also executive produces, while Jonathan Van Tulleken is set to direct and executive produce.
The cast is equally stacked, with Sigourney Weaver joining Turner in the series, alongside Jason Isaacs, Martin Bobb-Semple, Jack Bannon, John Heffernan, Bill Paterson, Paterson Joseph, Sasha Luss, Juliette Motamed, Celia Imrie, and August Wittgenstein.

Behind the scenes, the project is executive produced by Amazon MGM Studios and Crystal Dynamics, with Waller-Bridge and Jenny Robins producing through Wells Street Films. Additional executive producers include Dmitri M. Johnson, Michael Lawrence Goldberg, Timothy I. Stevenson, and Dallas Dickinson via Story Kitchen, along with Michael Scheel and Legendary Television. Matt McInnis serves as co-executive producer, and Jan R. Martin is listed as producer.
The series is produced by Story Kitchen, Crystal Dynamics, and Amazon MGM Studios — a combination that suggests Prime Video is building ‘Tomb Raider’ as a true tentpole streaming franchise, not just a one-season experiment.
With the first photo now out and cameras rolling, ‘Tomb Raider’ is officially back in play — and Sophie Turner’s Lara Croft looks ready to make the role her own.
