With writing credits on Fleabag, Killing Eve and an honorable mention as a co-writer for the James Bond film No Time to Die, writer-actress Phoebe Waller-Bridge has firmly established her creative prowess. However, it appears her latest undertaking is proving more challenging than expected. Waller-Bridge was, in 2019, tapped to develop and write a new Tomb Raider series for Prime Video. Early reports, including one from now-ousted Amazon executive Jennifer Salke, confirmed smooth progress, with Salke stating at the time: “Phoebe is well into it and working in close partnership with [Tomb Raider general manager] Dallas Dickinson.” However, a recent development contradicts those reports, revealing that the series is rotting in development hell.
