It would appear that Netflix’s Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft is a hit. A veritable hit, you might say.

All with critics and audiences alike praising this animated / anime-esque series for being a nice action-adventure that adds new depths to Lara Croft’s character.

Thus, you can understand why Netflix is so eager to further hype up their animated series. Especially since they plan on this animated adaptation of Lara Croft’s video game adventures returning for a second season. Complete with the long-awaited appearance of a certain best friend / love interest for Lara Croft from the 2013 reboot.
