Prime Video has announced that it has ordered “Life Is Strange” to series. Charlie Covell (“End of the F***ing World”) will serve as creator, executive producer, and showrunner.
“It’s a huge honor to be adapting ‘Life Is Strange’ for Amazon MGM Studios,” said showrunner Charlie Covell. “I am a massive fan of the game… I can’t wait to share Max and Chloe’s story with fellow players and new audiences alike.”
Based on the critically acclaimed video game franchise, the story follows Max, 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 investigates 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 will impact them forever.
The series comes from Square Enix, Story Kitchen, and LuckyChap and is produced by Amazon MGM Studios. Dmitri M. Johnson, Mike Goldberg, and Timothy I. Stevenson will executive produce under their Story Kitchen banner.
“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 Dimitri M. Johnson and Mike Goldberg. “After a decade-long journey, we’re honored to be bringing this beloved story to Amazon MGM alongside our incredible partners at Square Enix, our brilliant showrunner/writer Charlie Covell, and the amazing team at LuckyChap. Together, this thoughtfully assembled dream team is ready to share Life is Strange with the world in an entirely new way!”
“For years we’ve had so many people asking us to create a ‘Life is Strange’ TV show, and we’re so pleased to finally partner with Amazon MGM Studios, who we trust will do an incredible job bringing our universe to life,” said Jon Brooke and Lee Singleton, Studio Heads at Square Enix.”
“Life Is Strange” will premiere exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide.
