Sophie Turner Arrives as Sansa Stark in Prime Video’s Tomb Raider

Amazon MGM Studios celebrated the start of production on its upcoming Tomb Raider series with the show’s first official image of Sophie Turner as Lara Croft. Fittingly for the occasion, this photo comes from the backlot of the Tomb Raider production stages. (Also, yeah, it’s okay to nerd out. How could you not?)

It’s a role the former Sansa Stark has trained for intensely since last February. Considering that iconic costume and the demanding nature of the part, we can certainly understand why.

The Cast of Tomb Raider: Sigourney Weaver, Jason Isaacs, and More Join Sophie Turner

Chad Hodge is also serving double duty as co-showrunner and executive producer. Fellow executive producer Jonathan Van Tulleken also directs. signed on as director. Story Kitchen, Crystal Dynamics, and Amazon MGM Studios are jointly producing.

Do We Have a Release Date for Prime Video’s Tomb Raider?

While this first-look image of Lara Croft is a chance to see Sophie Turner as one of the most beloved, legendary characters in video game history, there’s still so much we don’t know about the highly secretive Tomb Raider show. And with production just getting underway, it could be a while before we even see any footage, let alone a trailer or even a release date. But this photo is enough, because just knowing Lara Croft is back on the job makes today a good day.
