11"A Single Step"Cassie Urban Tasha Huo October 10, 2024 (2024-10-10)
Lara Croft goes to an ancient ruin in Chile with Conrad Roth, and they find an ancient artifact box. Lara warns him not to take it, but he does anyway, and they both fight off those who tell them about the artifact's dangerous properties. Three years later, Lara returns from Peru and, with the help of her friends Zip and Jonah, plans to sell all the possessions in her family's manor. She continues to have flashbacks to Roth's death, which Joslin Reyes blames her for, while Sam Nishimura stays at her side. However, she leaves before giving a speech at the auction to sell off the possessions. In the process, she comes across a masked assailant, who steals the artifact box. While she attempts to track him down with the help of Zip, he escapes, then removes his mask, revealing that he is Charles Devereaux. Later, he opens the box, its power consumes him, and he plans to get its counterpart in China. Lara plans to go after him and stop his evil deeds before it is too late, using her father's diary as a guide.

Lara travels to China in search of the ancient ruins of Tianxi Xing along with Jonah, who helps her obtain a guide to the shrine, Yining. At the same time, Devereaux and a guide are in the same forest, also looking for the shrine. Lara later descends into a hole to find missing children, and Jonah follows her. They face a mysterious fox spirit and barely escape. Lara realizes that the boxes are not what Devereaux is after, but what is inside instead. She grabs the ruby box, but the ruby stone is not inside. Not long after, she finds the children and releases a spirit after hacking at its coffin, allowing them to escape. She asks the fox spirit, Daji, to save them, and she obliges, later bowing to Lara, as they all can escape. Jonah urges Lara to let this go and stop going on this quest. The episode ends with a tidal wave about to overtake her boat.

Now in Beijing, Lara calls Sam, but her call is interrupted when Zip shows up, who wants to help her. They enter the storeroom of an international guild that restores, repairs, and repatriates artifacts. She gives them a dagger so she can get information on the peril stones. Lara heads to Istanbul to find one of the stones, and learns that a mobster named Elvan Kaya has it in her possession, and meets Devereaux again, who claims to be a misunderstood hero. Some time later, she breaks into Kaya's compound in an attempt to take one of the stones. She gets the stone, but it takes control of her, causing her to kill people in a gruesome manner. Lara traps the stone, and Kaya tells her to get the stone away from her, declaring that the stone will curse her. Jonah reappears, now controlled/allied with Devereaux, and steals the stone from her, while Devereaux merges the two stones.

Lara convinces Camilla to go to the church of Devereaux's father, as part of a little adventure. Both begin bonding again, after she loses connection with Zip when she travels too far underground into the catacombs. They later separate, with Lara claiming they will cover more ground, while Camilla believes Lara is just like her father. Lara learns that the Knights Templar who survive became the "Light."

She thanks him for the ride and jumps out of the airplane. She reaches the ground and rides a motorcycle dropped from the airplane to catch the train, where Devereaux and mind-controlled Jonah are. Following this, she rides her motorcycle as the town crumbles around her and makes her way onto the train. She finds that everyone there is under the control of one of the stones. She comes across Devereaux, saying that it is not right to destroy everything, while Devereaux declares he will do anything to stop the Light. Jonah attacks her, but she survives and saves him, while everyone else on the train is mind-controlled. Later on, they meet back at Lara's family mansion to read more books. She figures out that Devereaux talked about the Battle of Zhuolu, not "Zulu." Camilla notes that the leaders of the Light are about to make a "glorious return."

They later fly to the possible site where the stone is being held, with Jonah saying the ghosts of Roth and her dad are haunting her. They discover ancient ruins and activate a magical process that transports them to Mongolia. Lara makes her way across part of the desert to another ruin, is injured in the process, but finds a temple.

Later, during her research on the Mask of Oko, Lara learns that her father discovered it before it was donated to the British Museum. When she fails to reacquire the mask, Lara secretly breaks into the museum and steals it. After returning the Mask of Oko to Mila, Lara, still suspicious, follows Mila to the Colombian village.

Production

Development

In January 2021, it was reported that Netflix had ordered an anime-style television series based on Tomb Raider . [1] The series order is for two seasons and was produced by Crystal Dynamics, Legendary Television, dj2 Entertainment and Tractorpants. [12] [13] The series was animated by Powerhouse Animation Studios and additional animation by Korea's Red Dog Animation. [14] Tasha Huo served as showrunner and executive produced alongside Dmitri M. Johnson, Timothy I. Stevenson, Howard Bliss and Jacob Robinson. [1] The writers' room broke in May 2021. [13]

On October 25, 2024, Netflix renewed the series for a second season. [15] Upon the second season renewal, it was stated that the second season will advance Lara's character, covering the topic of "a trail of stolen African Orisha masks" and will join forces with Sam, her best friend, along with possible punching of a shark, with Huo noting that the season will focus on building Lara's team. [3] It was further stated that Huo, Johnson, Robinson, Dickinson, Hughes, Bliss, Chambers, and Hughes will remain as executive producers, while Mike Goldberg joins for the second season, and Huo continues to serve as the series writer and showrunner. [16] In September 2025, the second season was confirmed as the final season of the series. [7]

Casting

In September 2021, it was announced that Hayley Atwell would voice Lara Croft. [17] Earl Baylon reprised his role as Jonah Maiava from the video game reboot trilogy. In October 2021, Allen Maldonado joined the cast as Lara's tech expert, Zip, a character who was first introduced in the 2000 game Tomb Raider: Chronicles , and had not appeared in the franchise since the 2008 game Tomb Raider: Underworld . The series also marks his first appearance in the reboot continuity. [2]

Characters and themes

Following the release of the first season, Matt Patches interviewed showrunner Tasha Huo for Polygon and noted that Camilla Roth's character is a new creation for the series. She told the outlet that she wanted Lara Croft's character to realize that the vision she had of her father and Camilla's father was "complicated and not perfect, and to stop looking up to them" as a model for herself, and noted Camilla's character as a "key element" in the growth of Lara's character. She also told the outlet that there were other scenes, cut from the series, which had Camilla telling more stories about her father, said she is eager to see how fans respond to the series, remarking "I am happy when anyone ships anybody. It's all fun to see. Everyone's art is fantastic. It's great!" and called Camilla different from the men Lara had "been in the shadows of before." [18] In another interview with the same publication, Huo said that the second season would build upon the existing story and said that it would "explore all the lessons and how those adventures actually challenge her to take those increasing steps closer to being the woman we remember from the '90s." She also noted that while she is a proponent of self-analysis and therapy, she noted that Lara's character uses "adventure as therapy," saying it is a great way for the character to "learn how to be better." [19]

Release

The first season of Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft was released on Netflix on October 10, 2024. [20] The second and final season premiered on December 11, 2025. [7]

Reception

The series received mostly positive reviews from critics. [21] [15] On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 73% of 22 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 6.5/10. The website's critics consensus reads: "A solid animated adaptation, The Legend of Lara Croft does a fine job of adding new dimensions to the iconic hero while chartering an adventure that's not quite worthy of her." [22] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the first season a score of 65 out of 100, based on 7 reviews, indicating "generally favorable" reviews. [23]

Ryan McCaffrey of IGN criticized the series not being compelling, having "generic and minimalist" animation, and lacking humor, asserted that villain Charles Devereaux engaged in villainy in "comic-book-esque levels of camp," and said that he would not be tuning into a season 2. [24] In contrast, Kayleigh Dray of The Guardian described Lara Croft "performing seemingly impossible feats in the name of archaeology" from the beginning of the series, saying her character was re-imagined in a more feminist way as compared to her original debut, retained the appeal of previous iterations, and Lara was, in her view, "the undisputed custodian of her own complicated life at long last." [25] Sam Stone of Den of Geek said the series provides a "natural evolution for Lara and her journey" while avoiding having its story rooted to the game's events, while remaining thrilling, and having Lara's character as "more confident, self-aware, and fun-loving." [26] Katie Doll of CBR said that the series fills in "missing gaps of Lara's life that weren't previously explored" and argues that Devereaux's character mirrors Lara while the series explores who Lara is as a person beyond a tomb raider, including her trauma, and praised Atwell's voice acting for Lara and the fluid animation in the series. [27]

Nate Richard of Collider praised Lara's character development during the series, but said the series takes a while to get going, praised the voice acting of Atwell, Richard Armitage (as Devereaux) and noted that the relationship between Lara and Camilla Roth is a big highlight, hinting at possible romance between them, and hoped that Camille's character appears in future installments. [28] Rendy Jones of Rogerebert.com said the animated series is the best adaptation of Lara's character, noted the "sharply-angled character designs" and said that animators preserved the "action-adventure elements from the source material" and noted that many scenes and locations flow with "artistic exhilaration," and praised the voice performance of Atwell, arguing it is enhanced by "bold imagery more akin to a psychological thriller." [29] Lyvie Scott of Inverse said the series feels like the "most accurate on-screen portrayal" of Lara and her world and called it a "compelling watch" for long-time and new fans alike. [30]

Manuel Betancourt of The A.V. Club called the series enjoyable because it sticks with the basics of a Tomb Raider tale, while anchoring Lara's emotional journey in her grief following Roth's death, along with entertaining sequences, allowing her to "showcase her wit, knowledge, and many badass moves." [31] Lauren Rouse of Game Rant said the series provides a new look at Lara's story, including her vulnerabilities, praises Atwell's voice acting, calls Devereaux an "excellent foil to Lara's character," and lauds the animation style which harkens back to "classic cartoons" in some ways. [32] In another review, Rouse said that the series is "depicted in an anime style" and compared it to other video game adaptations which have been animated, such as Castlevania , Cyberpunk: Edgerunners , Dota: Dragon's Blood , Arcane: League of Legends , and Dragon Age: Absolution . [33]

Other reviewers gave a mixed reception. Willa Rowe of Kotaku criticized the pacing, plot, and characters, like Devereaux, but praised the performance of Lara Croft as "stunning" and calling her the "saving grace" of the series, and compared the series negatively to Castlevania, and hoped the second season would be better. [34] This contrasted with Marcelo Leite of Screen Rant who praised the animation as echoing the Tomb Raider games, and captures what gameplay is like. [35] Matt Patches of Polygon noted that the series reframed "Conrad Roth's legacy in dramatic fashion," called the scene between Camilla Roth and Lara Croft to possibly be "the steamiest scene in all of Tomb Raider" and asserted that the relationship between both characters either has the vibes of Korrasami (Korra and Asami Sato from The Legend of Korra ) or a "deep friendship." [18]

Stanley Hanley, in an article for TheGamer , asserted that the franchise should "stop" trying to create Tomb Raider lore, and stated that Lara's theft of a cursed artifact "sort of delivers consequences to her actions" but criticized it for feeling like viewers should be "sad because she stole something." [36] This differed from Renaldo Matadeen of CBR who noted that the Tomb Raider franchise "didn't acknowledge the damaging nature of European colonialism," argued that the series begins with Lara Croft giving a "white plunder vibe," but ultimately wants to hold "herself accountable in a way that shows growth," differing from Indiana Jones , The Goonies , and National Treasure , even not wanting the relics in her mansion, and saying that the second season it set up for Lara to "explore more cultures," broadening her worldview. However, he notes that although Lara stops her father's relics from being auctioned, she gives them to a museum, even though museums also "contribute to the theft of indigenous artifacts" and points to a scene in Black Panther , but praised the series for having Lara's character self-reflect and challenge "her reasons for treasure hunting." [37]
