Netflix has handed out a very quick renewal order for a second season of its animated series “Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft”. The pickup comes just two weeks after the eight-episode first season, starring Marvel and “Mission: Impossible” alum Hayley Atwell as the voice of adventurer Lara Croft, premiered on the streamer. The series works within the continuity of the games – filling the gap in Croft’s story between the end of the recent reboot trilogy and the prior to the classic PC games.
In the second season, Lara discovers a trail of stolen African Orisha masks. She joins forces with her best friend Sam (Karen Fukuhara) to retrieve the precious artifacts. Her thrilling new adventure takes her around the globe as she delves deeper into the hidden secrets of Orisha history and dodges the machinations of a dangerous and enigmatic billionaire who wants the masks for herself.
Along the way she discovers these relics contain dark secrets and a power that defies logic. Power that may, in fact, be divine. It’s not clear how much of the first season voice cast will return.
