Back in 2022, it was reported that a TV show adaptation based on the popular Life is Strange series was in development, with Amazon Studios working alongside dj2 Entertainment to bring the choice-based story to new mediums. Following years of little-to-no updates on the project, the Life is Strange TV show has now been officially greenlit.
As reported by the publication Variety, Amazon Studios have officially greenlit the development of the previously-announced Life is Strange TV show. Set to be written by Charlie Covell – known best perhaps for the Channel 4 adaptation The End of the F***ing World – the actor/writer has had plenty of experience both in writing adaptations as well as depicting the struggles of young and growing adults.
Beyond Covell, production company Story Kitchen are also attached to the project. For the uninitiated, this studio was founded in 2022 by the Sonic the Hedgehog film producer Dmitri M. Johnson with a focus on “adapting videogames and other ‘non-traditional’ IPs into FILM and TV.”
Though many of their projects have yet to come to fruition, Story Kitchen is currently attached to a boatload of upcoming video game adaptations, including but not limited to: Amazon’s Tomb Raider; It Takes Two; SIFU; Sleeping Dogs; Split Fiction and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.
In the decade since the launch of the original Life is Strange, the popular series has followed a number of different characters and protagonists. That said, it seems the show will be adapting the first game’s plot, following 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.”
