It didn’t take us more than a few seconds to fall in love with ‘Fleabag.’ It was practically a love affair that went on to become a more meaningful attachment. And now, Phoebe Waller-Bridge will bring another engaging female character to the screen with her ‘Tomb Raider‘ adaptation.
Phoebe Waller-Bridge will pen a series adaptation of the celebrated video game franchise for Amazon’s streaming platform. Fans of ‘Fleabag’ and ‘Killing Eve’ no longer have to wait for a Phoebe Waller-Bridge project. Here’s everything you need to know about the ‘Tomb Raider’ series in works at Amazon Studios.

‘Tomb Raider‘ Series By Phoebe Waller-Bridge
Whether it was Waller-Bridge’s defiant take on modern love or the sneakily addressing the audience, we loved it all. And now, she’s headed to another exciting female-centric narrative after her ‘Mr. & Mrs. Smith’ adaptation with friend and collaborator Donald Grover fell through.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the ‘Fleabag’ creator and star will write the ‘Tomb Raider‘ show. It is expected to expand the Lara Croft universe from the movie adaptations. Waller-Bridge doesn’t intend to star as the gun-toting archaeologist. In addition to writing, she will executive produce the show with Ryan Andolina, Amanda Greenblatt, and Dmitri M. Johnson.

Will Fleabag Return For A Third Season?
No matter how unfair it seems, ‘Fleabag’ went out on a perfect note. While Waller-Bridge has hinted at the return of ‘Fleabag,’ there can never be a third season. Waller-Bridge could bring her back with more one-woman shows and Broadway performances, but another season would be doing it for the wrong reasons.
But there’s more to come from Waller-Bridge’s acerbic wit. After winning several Emmys for ‘Fleabag,’ Waller-Bridge signed an overall deal with Amazon. Apart from the ‘Tomb Raider’ series, she will adapt Claudia Lux’s book ‘Sign Her’. Phoebe Waller-Bridge will also be seen in James Mangold’s ‘Indiana Jones And The Dial Of Destiny’ and John Krasinski’s ‘IF’.
