Maisy Stella (My Old Ass) and Tatum Grace Hopkins (The Queen of Versailles) are set as the two leads, Chloe and Max, in Prime Video‘s Life Is Strange, its upcoming live-action series based on the popular video game franchise.
Created by Charlie Covell (End of the F***ing World, KAOS), Life is Strange follows Max (Hopkins), a photography student, who discovers she can rewind time while saving the life of her childhood best friend, Chloe (Stella). 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.
Covell serves as creator, executive producer, and showrunner. The series comes from Square Enix, Story Kitchen, and LuckyChap, and is produced by Amazon MGM Studios. Dmitri M. Johnson, Michael Lawrence Goldberg, and Timothy I. Stevenson will executive produce under their Story Kitchen banner.
Stella can be seen starring in Megan Park’s acclaimed coming-of-age story My Old Ass, alongside Aubrey
Plaza and Maddie Ziegler, which premiered at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival. She’ll next be seen in Maude Apatow’s directorial debut, Poetic License, alongside Cooper Hoffman and Andrew Barth Feldman, set for release this summer. Stella is repped by CAA, Entertainment 360 and attorney McKuin Frankel Whitehead.
Hopkins has performed on Broadway in The Queen of Versailles and For the Girls and she appeared in Hannah Sperling’s short film Meek, which screened at the Montclair Film Festival. She’s repped by CESD and PH Entertainment Group.
