News Life Is Strange Life Is Strange Video Game to Become Live-Action TV Series The effort to adapt Life Is Strange for television has been a decade-long process. By Vanessa Armstrong | Published on September 5, 2025 Screenshot: PlayStation Comment 0 Share New Share Screenshot: PlayStation After a decade-long effort, Life Is Strange, a Square Enix video game franchise where the first installment involves time travel abilities intertwined with mystery and unintended consequences, will receive a live-action TV adaptation. According to Variety, Amazon MGM Studios has greenlit a Life Is Strange series, with Charlie Covell, a writer on the excellent The End of the F***ing World and creator of the perhaps less excellent Kaos, on board as showrunner. Square Enix, along with companies LuckyChap and Story Kitchen, will produce the project. The official logline confirms that the plot is similar to the original game. The series will focus on 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 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 will impact them forever.” “It’s a huge honor to be adapting Life Is Strange for Amazon MGM Studios,” Covell said in a statement. “I am a massive fan of the game, and I’m thrilled to be working with the incredible teams at Square Enix, Story Kitchen and LuckyChap. I can’t wait to share Max and Chloe’s story with fellow players and new audiences alike.” This isn’t the first attempt to bring Life Is Strange to television. Back in 2016, Legendary Television was working on an adaptation, though that effort fell by the wayside. The series is still in its early days, so no news yet on any casting or when the show will make its way to Prime Video.
