The adventures of Lara Croft are looking quite promising. As part of Netflix Geeked Week, Legendary Entertainment released a behind-the-scenes look at the Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft (https://www.destructoid.com/netflix-shows-a-look-at-its-tomb-raider-animated-series/) series.
Powerhouse Animation Studios, known for its Castlevania (https://www.destructoid.com/reviews/review-castlevania-season-1/) series, is taking on the daring archaeologist with the help of Legendary Entertainment. Based on Crystal Dynamics' reboots/prequels (https://www.destructoid.com/how-to-play-the-tomb-raider-games-in-order/), Netflix's Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft sets up the Lara seen in the 1996 original (https://www.destructoid.com/reviews/review-tomb-raider-trilogy/). The video, narrated by Character Design Supervisor Joy Lua, showcases the globe-trotting journeys we'll see her take, as well as some callbacks to different games.

Tomb Raider steps out of the shadows for Netflix
The video starts with some drawings and rough storyboard scenes, previewing some of the show's worldwide action. We see Lara snowboarding off a parachute and traversing buildings in Paris like an action hero. As Lara in the reboot trilogy usually stayed in one country, it's cool to see her out and about.
Concepts for the places she'll go (yes, including tombs) are shown toward the end. She'll also sport some new gear, donning a dress in one shot and snow gear in another. Of course, she'll have her bow, pickaxe, and pistols alongside her. The team aims to provide many Easter eggs for longtime fans and bridge the gap between old and new.
While the animated Netflix series picks up after Shadow of the Tomb Raider (https://www.destructoid.com/reviews/review-shadow-of-the-tomb-raider/), reboot era Lara voice actress Camilla Luddington of Grey's Anatomy is not reprising her role, with Marvel the MCU's Agent Carter, Haley Atwell, (https://www.destructoid.com/hayley-atwell-lara-croft-tomb-raider-netflix-anime/) picking up the dual pistols. Jonah, played by Earl Baylon, is back and given a small look via concept art. As a fan of Castlevania and Powerhouse, as well as the reboots, it seems like Lara is in good hands.
Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft is slated to release sometime in 2024.
