Netflix’s animated series “Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft” will come to an end with its second season in December.
The Legendary Television-produced series premiered in October last year and starred Marvel and “Mission: Impossible” alum Hayley Atwell as the voice of Lara Croft.
The company has announced a December 11th premiere date for the second run and confirmed it will be the final season. In the new run, Lara discovers a trail of stolen African Orisha masks, and she joins forces with her best friend Sam (Karen Fukuhara) to retrieve the precious artifacts.
Lara’s new adventure takes her around the globe as she delves deeper into the hidden secrets of Orisha history, dodging the machinations of a dangerous and enigmatic billionaire who wants the masks for herself, while discovering these relics contain dark secrets and a power that defies logic. Power that may, in fact, be divine.
The voice cast of the series also includes O-T Fagbenle as Eshu, Allen Maldonado as Zip, and Earl Baylon as Jonah Maiava. The series is executive-produced and written by Tasha Huo.
The cancellation comes after Amazon had set a January start of filming date on Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s long-gestating new live-action “Tomb Raider” series, which will star Sophie Turner as Lara.
Legendary, Story Kitchen and game developer Crystal Dynamics are involved in that series.
