There is no word yet on a cast, director, and plot details for the Life is Strange TV series.
Legendary’s Cory Lanier will oversee the project with Greg Siegel, senior VP of development of production for the studio.
“Life is Strange is one of those rare properties that combines incredibly developed characters and storylines with deeply engaging gameplay,” Siegel said. “It lends itself perfectly to live-action imaginings. We couldn’t be more excited to partner with Square Enix, Dontnod Entertainment and dj2 to bring the world of Arcadia Bay to life in an exciting new way.”
“We’re proud and excited to be working alongside Legendary to realise a new version of Arcadia Bay and Blackwell Academy complete with our rich cast of realistic, believable characters and memorable events,” Square Enix’s Jon Brooke said.
The Life is Strange video game series continues on September 10 with the launch of Life is Strange: True Colors. A remastered collection of Life Is Strange and Life Is Strange: Before the Storm is in the works, but has been delayed to 2022.
