The iconic video game franchise Tomb Raider finally gets a proper small-screen treatment with Netflix's upcoming anime series, 'Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft.' The show acts as a sequel to Crystal Dynamics' reboot trilogy, following Lara Croft's journey as she returns home after a dangerous adventure results in the death of someone she cares about.
Since the franchise's launch in 1996, the Tomb Raider series has seen multiple adaptations over the years, namely the big screen incarnations led by Angelina Jolie and Alicia Vikander as the iconic video game adventurer. Up until now, though, it's not been given a proper small-screen treatment, the sole exemption being 2007's Revisioned featuring Minnie Driver voicing the role in five to seven-minute episodes.
