In Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft, Hayley Atwell will reprise her role as the iconic character, while showrunner Tasha Huo hints at potential developments for Lara Croft in season 2. During an interview with Netflix Tundum, Huo suggests that Lara’s character could undergo growth in the second season, implying that a “shark” may play a part in these changes.

In Season 1, Lara learns to emulate her father’s approach to dealing with grief, which was quite solitary. Initially, Lara is extremely secluded… As we delve into Season 2, our aim is to develop a team for Lara throughout the series, thereby transitioning her from a solo hero who prefers to act independently – a lone wolf – to recognizing, ‘In fact, I have an amazing team supporting me.’

In her thrilling escapades during Season 1, Lara came face-to-face with a fearsome alligator. However, it’s possible that future seasons could see Lara squaring off against a shark, a tribute to the original Tomb Raider games. This concept was also hinted at in the movie Lara Croft: Tomb Raider – The Cradle of Life starring Angelina Jolie in 2003. Unfortunately, there’s no word yet on when we can expect Season 2 of Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft to premiere.
