Prime Video’s upcoming Tomb Raider TV series is expanding its cast, with Jason Isaacs joining the lineup. While details about his character remain under wraps, the Emmy-nominated actor is known for his memorable role as Lucius Malfoy in the Harry Potter films, along with appearances in The Patriot, Black Hawk Down, Peter Pan, and Fury.

The series is created, written, and executive produced by Phoebe Waller-Bridge, with Chad Hodge serving as co-showrunner and executive producer. Jonathan van Tulleken, director of Shogun, is also on board as an executive producer and director. Waller-Bridge expressed her excitement, stating, “Everyone on board is wildly passionate about Lara and are all as outrageous, brave, and hilarious as she is. Get your artifacts out … Croft is coming …”
