Netflix is working on a Tomb Raider anime, it revealed Wednesday. It’ll tie in with the story of the recent video game trilogy, which ended with 2018’s Shadow of the Tomb Raider, rather than the Alicia Vikander movie from the same year.
“The most iconic heroine in video games is jumping to animation!,” it wrote in a tweet. “Tomb Raider is a new anime series from @Legendary following Lara Croft after the events of the video-game reboot trilogy.”

Tasha Huo (who’s also working The Witcher: Blood Origin) will write and executive produce. Between The Witcher, Castlevania, Assassin’s Creed and Resident Evil, Netflix is all over video game adaptations.
The company also announced a Skull Island anime, which ties in with 2017’s Kong: Skull Island and upcoming Godzilla vs. Kong. There’s no indication of when we’ll see either show, or how many episodes either of them will be.
