Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft - First Look
Netflix has released a short video clip for the upcoming animated series "Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft", which will hit Netflix soon. The official Tomb Raider channel speaks of a 2024 release.
The video reveals a little about what to expect. We see Lara aiming a bow, climbing down into a cave, examining a mural, rising from a sea of fire. Notable is also an image of the Endurance crew (besides Lara we see Roth, Jonah, Reyes and Sam)

As a reminder: when the series was first announced, it was stated that it is placed after the events of the Tomb Raider Reboot Trilogy, meaning after Shadow of the Tomb Raider.
