Filming on the new Tomb Raider series has been paused after actress Sophie Turner sustained an injury, the show's bosses have confirmed.

The Game of Thrones star plays heroine Lara Croft - a globe-trotting archaeologist - in the upcoming video game adaptation.

A Prime Video spokesperson confirmed Turner had recently suffered a "minor injury", although didn't confirm if it happened on or off-set.

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

The streamer did not confirm how long the pause would last, nor did it give further details on the nature of the injury.
