Amazon MGM Studios has paused production of its live-action Tomb Raider TV series after Sophie Turner, who plays Lara Croft, has sustained an injury.

As reported by Deadline, a statement from the studios says it's a "minor injury", and while she recovers, the show's production has been briefly put on ice.

"As a precaution, production has briefly paused to allow her time to recover. We look forward to resuming production as soon as possible."

It's said that production will be paused for a period of two weeks. The nature of the injury hasn't been made public, nor is it revealed whether it was caused while on set.

The Tomb Raider show recently began production. Phoebe Waller-Bridge is serving as writer, executive producer, and co-showrunner alongside Chad Hodge.

Joining Turner in the cast are Sigourney Weaver, Jason Isaacs, Martin Bobb-Semple, and more.

It seems Tomb Raider is bouncing back in a big way over the next couple of years or so; alongside Amazon's TV show, we're getting not one but two Tomb Raider games.

The first is a remake of the original — Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, coming later this year — and the second is an all new adventure called Tomb Raider: Catalyst, set for 2027.

There's plenty for Lara fans to get excited about, then, but most importantly, we hope Turner makes a swift recovery and is soon able to get back to backflipping and shooting dinosaurs.
