PRODUCTION on the new ‘Tomb Raider’ series plunged into chaos after Sophie Turner suffered a sudden injury that forced a full shutdown.

The star, known for doing her own stunts, was sidelined for weeks, grinding filming to a halt and sending shockwaves through the set.

Sources reveal the injury happened off the clock, but the impact was massive, with the entire crew paid despite the shutdown.

Why This Matters

The shutdown highlights risks and costs when lead actors perform stunts, affecting schedules, budgets and cast morale; Turner's injury and the ensuing halt underscore production vulnerabilities and the stakes for high-profile streaming projects and their release timelines.

The highly anticipated Amazon series, starring Jason Isaacs and Sigourney Weaver alongside Turner, is back on track now as filming resumes.

Helmed by Phoebe Waller-Bridge, the show had been shooting across the UK and on location before the crisis hit.

Insiders say the production pause won’t delay the release schedule, but the tension on set is palpable, according to TMZ.
