Life is Strange TV Series is in the works at Amazon Prime

A live-action Life is Strange TV series is officially happening as it has been greenlit by Amazon Prime Video, Variety confirms. The show is based on the video game franchise from Square Enix, and it will be written by Charlie Covell, who will serve as the executive producer and showrunner.

The outlet confirmed that the Life is Strange TV series comes from Square Enix, Story Kitchen, and LuckyChap, with Amazon MGM Studios producing it. 

“Story Kitchen has always believed that ‘Life is Strange’ deserved to be more than just a game—it’s a cultural touchstone,” said Story Kitchen’s Johnson and Goldberg.

Life is Strange’s story follows Max Caufield, a photography student who discovers she can rewind time while saving the life of her childhood best friend, Chloe. As she struggles to understand this new skill, the pair investigate the mysterious disappearance of a fellow student, uncovering a dark side to their town that will ultimately force them to make an impossible life or death choice that impacts them forever. 

Life is Strange started over 10 years ago, and it quickly became a fan favorite with multiple games in the series now. The latest release was Life is Strange: Double Exposure.
