'Tomb Raider' series announced from Phoebe Waller-Bridge

Phoebe Waller-Bridge is set to write and executive produce a new "Tomb Raider" series.

Amazon's Prime Video announced at its inaugural upfront presentation on May 14 that Lara Croft, the world-famous archaeologist and adventurer who has inspired fans in video games and feature films, is getting her own show.

"If I could tell my teenage self this was happening I think she'd explode," Waller-Bridge said in a statement. "'Tomb Raider' has been a huge part of my life and I feel incredibly privileged to be bringing it to television with such passionate collaborators."
