TOMB RAIDER: The Legend of Lara Croft debuted on Netflix earlier this month, and the buzz has been overwhelming. Collider called the series a “satisfying and emotional adventure,” while CBR declared it “a fabulous artifact to add to Lara's collection.” And we’re thrilled to announce that Season 2 is confirmed!

Here’s a preview of what the next season has in store:

When adventurer Lara Croft discovers a trail of stolen African Orisha masks, she joins forces with her best friend Sam 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, dodges 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.

Why?

 

[JaksGhost]

This must have a secret investor because this did not need a 2nd season over other cancelled titles this year.

 

[Cakeboxer]

Just two questions: Why? And why?

 

[Werewolf Jones]

So people actually watched it then considering Netflix is QUICK to cancel.

 

[Warspite]

Because its animated and they needed to pay for 2 seasons in advance.

Its not getting a 3rd season.

Just two questions: Why? And why?

Probably some scam that involves money.

Season 2 will probably line up whenever the next game comes out.

Not really, Netflix cancelled a lot of animations after a single season.

The Tomb Raider animation likely had good numbers. Lara is a popular character.

Seems to be a trend of late. Halo, for example, needed to commit to two seasons to get greenlit.
