Netflix feels it has found treasure with Lara Croft.

The streamer debuted Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft on Oct. 10, and on Friday announced the series, which features the voice of the Marvel film veteran Hayley Atwell as the titular adventurer, will get a second season.

While Season 1 of the anime was more of an origin story, Netflix’s Tudum blog says, “Season 2 looks to develop her character from something of a rookie to her journey to becoming the icon we know today.”

The streamer teases from the second frame, “(W)hen adventurer Lara Croft discovers a trail of stolen African Orisha masks, she teams up with her best friend Sam to retrieve the precious artifacts.”

Netflix continues, “Lara’s exciting new adventure takes her around the world as she digs deeper into the Orisha’s hidden secrets, avoiding the machinations of a dangerous and enigmatic billionaire who wants the masks for himself, while discovering that these relics hold dark secrets and a power that defies logic. Power that may in fact be divine.”

Writer and executive producer Tasha Huo explains, “Season 1, thematically, is about Lara embracing how her father dealt with grief, which was isolating,” adding, “Coming into Season 2, we’re trying to build Lara’s team over the course of the show, so she goes from a isolated hero, who just wants to do things on his own—a lone wolf—to realize, “Actually, I’ve got this really cool team behind me.”

The video game heroine was previously brought to the big screen in 2001 and 2003 with Angelina Jolie in the title role. During 2018, Tomb Raider rebooted successfully with Alicia Vikander in the lead.
