Netflix describes the second season of Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft as:
When adventurer Lara Croft (voiced by Hayley Atwell) discovers a trail of stolen African Orisha masks, she joins forces with her best friend Sam to retrieve the precious artifacts.

Power that may, in fact, be divine.

Netflix first announced the Tomb Raider animated series in 2021. It takes place after the “Survivor Trilogy” games, which serve as a reboot of the action-adventure video game series that were released between 2013 and 2018.
The first Tomb Raider game was released in 1996 for Sega Saturn, MS-Dos, and PlayStation. After the 2003 Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness game, the series’ main developer switched from Core Design to Crystal Dynamics (who are also involved as producers in the new series). The Survivor trilogy was preceded by another reboot trilogy (released between 2006 to 2009) that is now called The Tomb Raider Trilogy, with the second entry being a remake of the original Tomb Raider.
The long-running video game franchise also inspired two live-action film adaptations in 2001 and 2003, and a reboot in 2018. Another live-action TV series is currently in development at Amazon MGM Studios for Prime Video.
Netflix describes the first season Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft as:
The animated series TOMB RAIDER: THE LEGEND OF LARA CROFT picks up after the events of the highly successful Tomb Raider video game Survivor trilogy (Tomb Raider; Rise of the Tomb Raider; Shadow of the Tomb Raider), and will chart the globetrotting heroine’s next chapter as the iconic adventurer. More than 25 years after her first appearance, Lara Croft (voiced by Hayley Atwell) continues to explore ancient mysteries and uncover lost truths across breathtaking and dangerous destinations.
