Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft season 2: Release date and latest news
When will Hayley Atwell be returning as the iconic character in more animated adventures?
It's been just over a year since the first season of Netflix's animated Tomb Raider series, Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft, debuted, but it's now almost back for a new batch of episodes.
Once again, Lara is voiced by Hayley Atwell, with the series continuing on the story of season 1, which itself picked up after the Survivor game series.
The synopsis for season 2 says: "When adventurer Lara Croft (Atwell) discovers a trail of stolen African Orisha masks, she joins forces with her best friend Sam (Karen Fukuhara) to retrieve the precious artifacts.
"Lara’s thrilling new adventure takes her around the globe as she delves deeper into the hidden secrets of Orisha history, dodging the machinations of a dangerous and enigmatic billionaire who wants the masks for herself, while discovering these relics contain dark secrets and a power that defies logic. Power that may, in fact, be divine."
