The Tomb Raider live-action series faced a UK safety regulation breach during filming at Shinfield Studios, with Project Temple Productions Limited accused of inadequate supervision for workers handling isocyanate paints that can trigger asthma.

The Health and Safety Executive issued an improvement notice in April requiring protections and monitoring, which the production addressed within a month.

Separately, Sophie Turner sustained a minor back-related injury that paused filming for about two weeks, though this incident is not connected to the HSE findings.

The series, developed by Phoebe Waller-Bridge, stars Turner as Lara Croft and is highly anticipated on Prime Video.

It remains one of Prime Video’s most awaited projects, with Turner’s Lara Croft central to its appeal.

Phoebe Waller-Bridge is creator, writer, and executive producer, with Chad Hodge as co-showrunner and Jonathan Van Tulleken directing and executive producing.

The crew includes Waller-Bridge as creator/writer/EP and Hodge as co-showrunner, alongside Van Tulleken serving as director and EP.

Filming began in January 2026 at Shinfield Studios in Berkshire and expanded to locations in London, Surrey, and Bedfordshire, including the Wrest Park estate.

Despite safety issues and an injury-related shutdown, filming continued and the project remains one of Prime Video’s most anticipated upcoming series.

The production proceeded despite the safety concerns, and Prime Video’s Tomb Raider series is still expected to premiere in the future.

Turner underwent extensive physical training for the demanding role, including daily workouts and stunt preparation.

The development underscores broader questions about working conditions on major streaming productions shot overseas while keeping Lara Croft’s TV debut in focus.
