Together with Lara's best friend Sam, she sets out to retrieve the precious artifacts. Lara's thrilling new adventure takes her across the globe as she delves deeper into the hidden secrets of Orisha history, evades the machinations of a dangerous and mysterious billionaire who wants the masks for himself, and discovers that these relics hold dark secrets and a power that defies logic—a power that may even be divine.

In addition to Atwell, the cast includes Karen Fukuhara as Sam Nishimura, O-T Fagbenle as Eshu, Allen Maldonado as Zip, and Earl Baylon as Jonah Maiava. The series is produced by Legendary Television and executive produced and written by Tasha Huo.

I honestly found the first season quite disappointing, so like you, I didn't expect a sequel at all. I'm surprised that there's a second season after all. I'll watch it, but if it had stayed just one season, I would have liked it even more.

Netflix also renewed the series too quickly, and now they're paying the price. The ratings were good, but the reviews were much less so.
If they had waited a month longer, I don't think the series would have been renewed.

This has nothing to do with ratings or the quality of the story. People forget that this animated series was already in development before Tomb Raider game developer Crystal Dynamics was sold to Embracer. Under the umbrella of Embracer, Crystal Dynamics made agreements with Amazon about a possible live-action series and new games. It's understandable that this Netflix series was canceled. They simply had to fulfill the existing contracts. Now that Amazon has announced that Sophie Turner will play the adventuress, it's no longer sustainable to keep the IP with a competing streamer. Something similar happened when the streamer Disney+ was established; the Marvel Netflix series were canceled one by one. That certainly wasn't a decision made by Netflix alone.
