Production on a new Tomb Raider series was put on hold after star Sophie Turner suffered a “minor injury” on set, Variety reports.

A rep for Prime Video confirmed the injury but did not provide any details. “Sophie Turner recently experienced a minor injury,” the spokesperson said. “As a precaution, production has briefly paused to allow her time to recover. We look forward to resuming production as soon as possible.”

The injury was first reported by the British tabloid, The Sun, which claimed that Turner had aggravated a pre-existing back injury. Reps for the actress did not immediately return Rolling Stone’s request for comment.

Turner is starring as archaeologist/adventurer Lara Croft in the new TV adaptation of the hit video game franchise. Production on the series began back in January, and the show is still slated to arrive in 2027. An exact release date hasn’t been revealed yet, and it’s unclear if Turner’s injury will affect the premiere at all.

Along with Turner, the new Tomb Raider series will star Sigourney Weaver, Jason Isaacs, Martin Bobb-Semple, Jack Bannon, John Heffernan, Bill Paterson, Paterson Joseph, Sasha Luss, Juliette Motamed, Celia Imrie, and August Wittgenstein. Fleabag creator and star Phoebe Waller-Bridge created the show and is serving as co-showrunner alongside Chad Hodge. (This will be Waller-Bridge’s first major TV project since Fleabag and Killing Eve.)

As for Turner, she starred in Carlson Young’s thriller film Trust last year and has already had a couple of projects drop in 2026. These include the British crime series Steal, as well as the horror flick The Dreadful, which found her reuniting with her former Game of Thrones co-star Kit Harington.

Grand Jury Indicts Nick Reiner in Alleged Murder of Parents Rob and Michele Reiner

A Los Angeles grand jury has indicted Nick Reiner on charges he murdered his parents, the celebrated Hollywood director Rob Reiner and photographer-philanthropist Michele Reiner, last December in the family’s Brentwood home.

The indictment, unsealed Wednesday, allows prosecutors to bypass a public preliminary hearing where they otherwise would have to present witness testimony to persuade a judge there’s enough probable cause to warrant a trial. After the secret indictment was unsealed, Nick pleaded not guilty Wednesday to two counts of murder with the special circumstance allegations of multiple murders and murder by means of lying in wait, prosecutors said. He also faces a special allegation that he personally used a dangerous and deadly weapon, a knife. His next hearing is set for Sept. 15.

Tiffany Haddish Pleads Guilty to Driving Under the Influence, Gets 12 Months of Probation

Tiffany Haddish lit up with one of her signature smiles Tuesday when a judge said she would serve “no more jail time” after pleading guilty to a single count of driving under the influence in Georgia.

The actress and comedian appeared by video at the court hearing in Fayette County as she accepted responsibility for the January 2022 incident where someone called 911 about a driver asleep at the wheel at a traffic light. In video of the hearing, obtained by The Associated Press, Haddish grinned broadly as the judge said all other charges would be dropped, based on the recommendation of prosecutors.

Is ‘Tony’ a True Story? Sort Of

Even when he was alive, there was a sense of lore that surrounded Anthony Bourdain. He had the allure of someone with a true mythology, which he offered up throughout his writing and TV shows. His memoir Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly, released in 2000, established much of what we know about him — his early years in New York City kitchens, his drug use, his willingness to reveal tricks of the trade. The book famously recounted the three summers he spent in Provincetown, Massachusetts, as a young man, one of his earliest legends.

That time period is the focal point of Tony, a biopic of sorts from Canadian writer-director Matt Johnson. Dominic Sessa stars as Tony, a surly 19-year-old not yet formed into the Bourdain we have since anointed into culinary sainthood. Although the film is sanctioned by the Bourdain estate, the coming-of-age tale isn’t overly concerned with facts. Instead, Johnson conjures the same feelings one might have looking back at their own early years.
