Prime Video's upcoming Life is Strange TV series has cast its Chloe and Max. According to Variety, Maisy Stella, star of My Old Ass, will play Chloe, while newcomer Tatum Grace Hopkins will play Max. The series was first announced in September 2025, with Charlie Covell, creator of The End of the F***ing World, on board as head writer, executive producer, and showrunner. Square Enix, Amazon MGM Studios, and Story Kitchen are all producing alongside Margot Robbie's LuckyChap production banner.
The official logline for the show states that it 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."
Life is Strange is a series of adventure games first released in 2015. The first game was released as five separate episodes for several different consoles, including the PS3, PS4, and Xbox One. It follows an 18-year-old named Max Caulfield (voiced by Hannah Telle) who has the ability to rewind time and ends up saving the life of a woman who turns out to be Chloe Price, her childhood best friend. The critically acclaimed game spawned five more installments with the latest, Life is Strange: Double Exposure, releasing in 2024. A sequel to Double Exposure, titled Reunion, is scheduled for release in March.
Maisy Stella, who is one half of the country music duo Lennon and Maisy, had a starring role on the hit TV drama Nashville from 2012-2018 and is perhaps best known for playing Aubrey Plaza's younger self in the coming-of-age comedy My Old Ass. She can be seen next starring alongside Anne Hathaway in Flowervale Street. Life is Strange marks the first ever on-screen appearance for Hopkins, though her previous theatre credits include Broadway productions The Queen of Versailles and For the Girls.
