Prime Video’s Tomb Raider TV series has added Jason Isaacs (hello), Celia Imrie and more to its cast, headed up by Sophie Turner and Sigourney Weaver.
Following years in creative limbo, Prime Video’s Tomb Raider TV series is finally picking up a bit of momentum, having cast Sophie Turner as posh ransacker of crypts, Lara Croft, and Sigourney Weaver since added in a supporting role.
Weaver’s now set to be joined by a number of other familiar faces, including Jason Isaacs (pictured in Rio, I Love You), Celia Imrie and Bill Paterson, per The Hollywood Reporter.
What’s more, the outlet has provided a handy, bullet-pointed menu of who’s in the show and the characters they’re set to play. Here it is:
- 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.
- 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.
Sounds quite good, doesn’t it? We’re intrigued to see exactly how Sigourney Weaver flies so high – whether she owns a plane or has a pair of mechanical wings or similar gadget.
The new, small-screen Tomb Raider comes courtesy of co-showrunners Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Chad Hodge, with episodes directed by Jonathan Van Tulleken, recently of Shogun fame.
It’s thought that the show will air in late 2026, though Amazon MGM hasn’t announced a precise date yet. We’ll update you when we hear of one.
