Streaming platform Amazon Prime Video is developing a television series based on pre-existing material.

In an exciting development for video game adaptations, Prime Video is set to bring the critically acclaimed "Life is Strange" series to the small screen. Known for the Netflix series "The End of the F***ing World," showrunner Diane Covell will be at the helm of this highly anticipated project.

The series, currently in production, follows the story of Max Caulfield, a photography student who discovers she can rewind time. This ability allows her to save her childhood best friend Chloe Price, as they investigate the mysterious disappearance of a fellow student and uncover dark secrets in their town, Arcadia Bay. The series will delve into life-altering decisions that the characters face, staying true to the original game's narrative.

Max Caulfield's return to the limelight isn't the only exciting news for fans. "Life is Strange: Double Exposure" will also feature the character, marking a return for Max after her last appearance in the original game.

The "Life is Strange" video game series, which includes spin-offs and sequels such as "Before the Storm," "Life is Strange 2," "Life is Strange: True Colors," "Life is Strange: Double Exposure," and the mini-game "The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit," has garnered a dedicated fanbase. The series adaptation promises to capture the essence of these games, with its main character possessing supernatural powers similar to Max Caulfield's time-rewinding ability.

MGM will produce the series adaptation, adding another feather to their cap in the world of video game adaptations. With Prime Video's recent successful delivery of a video game adaptation with "Fallout," which is set to continue with a second season this year, the stage is set for "Life is Strange" to make a splash.

Showrunner Covell has expressed her excitement about working on the project, promising fans a faithful adaptation that stays true to the game's emotional depth and engaging storyline. The series will undoubtedly resonate with fans of the original game, as it delves into the tragic death of Alex Chen's brother, a central plot point in the game "Life is Strange: True Colors."

As production continues, fans eagerly await the release of "Life is Strange" on Prime Video, a promising addition to the growing list of successful video game adaptations.
