News Tomb Raider The Tomb Raider Prime Video Series Cast Is Shaping Up Quite Nicely Do you think Jason Isaacs ever longs to just play a really nice guy? By Molly Templeton | Published on January 6, 2026 Screenshot: HBO Comment 0 Share New Share Screenshot: HBO As was announced last fall, Sophie Turner—who has already played the iconic roles of Sansa Stark and Jean Grey—is our new Lara Croft, action-loving archaeologist star of the Tomb Raider franchise. Prime Video’s Tomb Raider series comes from showrunners Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Fleabag) and Chad Hodge (Good Behavior), which automatically makes it somewhat intriguing. Now that the show has revealed its full supporting cast, the intrigue factor has jumped up several levels. Sigourney Weaver has gone from “in talks” to “in the cast,” and she’ll be playing Evelyn Wallis, described by The Hollywood Reporter as “a mysterious, high-flying woman who is keen to exploit Lara’s talents.” Three existing characters from the Tomb Raider universe have been cast, including Jason Isaacs (The White Lotus, pictured above) as Atlas DeMornay, Lara’s uncle. Atlas—whose name alone does not suggest he’s the most upstanding of characters—has appeared or been mentioned in two games and a Tomb Raider comic, and was the executor of the Croft estate after his sister Amelia’s death. Bill Paterson (House of the Dragon) will play Winston, the Crofts’ butler; Martin Bobb-Semple (One of Us Is Lying) has been cast as Zip, who provides tech support (surely his activities are all above-board). The rest of the new cast includes the always-excellent Celia Imrie (The Thursday Murder Club), who THR says is “the head of advancement at the British Museum, focused solely on raising funds and glasses of champagne.” The also always-excellent Paterson Joseph (Avenue 5) is “a senior government official brought in to clean up an almighty mess.” Lara will have a pilot “and snack collector,” Gerry, played by Pennyworth star Jack Bannon, and a “deeply competitive new adversary,” Sasha, who is played by Sasha Luss (Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets). There’s also an “exhausted government official” played by John Heffernan (A Gentleman in Moscow); a “by-the-books curator at the British Museum” played by Juliette Motamed (We Are Lady Parts); and “an illegal raider who shares history with Lara.” The latter role has been filled by German actor August Wittgenstein, whose cheekbones suggest a sultry sort of history. No premiere date has been announced for the Prime Video series, which is of course based on the long-running series of games originally created by Core Design.[end-mark] The post The <i>Tomb Raider</i> Prime Video Series Cast Is Shaping Up Quite Nicely appeared first on Reactor.
