Amazon’s long-standing Tomb Raider project has entered a crisis. The company’s series work, which began last year, has come to a halt due to problems in the script phase. Developments have even raised the possibility of the series being completely canceled.

Tomb Raider series may have been canceled

Amazon had given Phoebe Waller-Bridge the screenplay and executive production of the TV adaptation of Tomb Raider. The team led by Waller-Bridge, who achieved great success with the Fleabag series, initially began looking for an actress for the new Lara Croft character.

Meetings were held with names such as Sophie Turner and Lucy Boynton. Following these developments, there was an expectation that the project would enter production soon. However, no concrete progress has been made on the project for about six months.

It is said that the reason for this silence is that the script work has not been completed. Amazon stopped the project because the script could not reach the desired level. It was also claimed that Sophie Turner, who was mentioned for the lead role, left the project. It is said that Turner is currently interested in other productions.

It has been learned that Amazon is seriously considering the option of shelving the project due to the financial and time losses it has experienced in this process. However, even if the company cancels the series completely, we can say that such a Tomb Raider project is very likely to come to life in the future.
