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".

The latest game in the franchise, "Life is Strange: Reunion", which will be the conclusion of Chloe and Max’s story, will be released on March 26, 2026 on Xbox Series X|S and PC.

The games were developed by Don't Nod Entertainment and later Deck Nine with Square Enix serving as publisher.

Hopkins will be making her television debut, as she has primarily worked on the stage up until now. She starred in the Broadway productions "The Queen of Versailles" and "For the Girls", as well as the 2024 short film "Meek".

Stella is an accomplished musician, and previously starred in the hit ABC music drama "Nashville" in which she played Daphne Conrad for the show's entire six season run. She made her film debut in the critically-acclaimed feature "My Old Ass" opposite Aubrey Plaza in 2024, which earned Stella an Independent Spirit Award. She also starred in the comedy "Poetic License", and can next be seen later this year in "Flowervale Street" alongside Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor.

LIFE IS STRANGE TV Series In the Works At Amazon

The video game franchise "Life Is Strange" is getting the small screen treatment. A TV series based on the games has been greenlit at Amazon Prime Video. The show will be written by Charlie Covell ("The End of the F***ing World", "Kaos"), who also serves as executive producer and showrunner. Dmitri M. Johnson, Mike Goldberg, and Timothy I. Stevenson will executive produce under their Story Kitchen banner. The series hails from Square Enix, Story Kitchen, and LuckyChap, with Amazon MGM Studios producing.

According to the official synopsis, the series will follow 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."

Story Kitchen's Johnsons and Goldberg had this to say about the project: "Story Kitchen has always believed that 'Life is Strange' deserved to be more than just a game — it's a cultural touchstone. 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!"

Covell added: "It's a huge honor to be adapting 'Life Is Strange' for Amazon MGM Studios. 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."

LuckyChap also released a statement saying: "We've been huge fans of the visionary Charlie Covell for years, so partnering with them on the adaptation of Life is Strange is truly a dream come true. Charlie is an exceptional steward of revered IP, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have them at the helm of such an original, beloved and culturally resonant video game. We're also deeply grateful to be collaborating with our friends at Amazon MGM Studios, Story Kitchen and Square Enix and can’t wait to bring Chloe, Max, and Arcadia Bay to life."

Square Enix studio heads Jon Brooke and Lee Singelton said: "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"

Video Game Description: Set in a fictional Oregon town of Arcadia Bay senior student Max Caulfield comes back to town after five years to reunite with her former friend Chloe as they attempt to find out what happened to fellow student Rachel Amber, whose disappearance remains unexplained. The pair find themselves exposed to the darker side of Arcadia Bay as they uncover the disturbing truth behind this sudden disappearance. Meanwhile, Max begins to have premonitions as she struggles to understand the implications of an unknown power she discovers -- she can rewind time. While this power may help change painful events and even save lives, Max must learn that changing the past can sometimes lead to a devastating future.

Life Is Strange is a five part episodic game that sets out to revolutionize story based choice and consequence games by allowing the player to rewind time and affect the past, present and future. These digitally-delivered, narrative-driven adventure game episodes were created as a collaboration between publisher Square Enix and developer Dontnod.
