The news was confirmed by the streamer itself via social media, and subsequently, it was The Hollywood Reporter who reported it on its pages. The renewal for a second season occurred less than two weeks after the first season of 8 episodes aired. According to Netflix's description, the anime series Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft was born as a sort of glue between the reboot trilogy and the original video games, and this second season will continue the journey begun with the first 8 episodes.
The second season, according to Netflix, will see Lara discover a trail of stolen African Orisha masks. "She joins forces with her best friend Sam (voiced by Karen Fukuhara in the first season) to recover the precious artifacts," the synopsis reads. “Lara’s thrilling new adventure takes her around the world as she delves into the hidden secrets of Orisha's history, evades the machinations of a dangerous and enigmatic billionaire who wants the masks for himself, and discovers that these relics contain dark secrets and a power that defies logic. A power that may, in fact, be divine.”
