The Life Is Strange Series Is Getting Closer: Amazon Announces Filming Dates

Production is set to begin on June 29, 2026, in Vancouver and will continue until October 16. Filming will take just over three months, with the first season consisting of six episodes.

The cast includes Maisy Stella as Chloe Price and Tatum Grace Hopkins as Max Caulfield. The story follows a photography student who discovers the ability to rewind time and uses it to save a friend. Over time, the heroines become embroiled in the investigation of a mysterious disappearance and uncover the dark secrets of the town.

The plot will remain true to the original, exploring the theme of the butterfly effect – every intervention in the past leads to unpredictable consequences. The creators promise a combination of an intimate story about relationships with elements of thriller and science fiction.

Charlie Covell is the showrunner and head writer. Karyn Kusama directed the first episodes. Square Enix and LuckyChap are involved in the production.

The project is in the pre-production stage, and casting is ongoing. The premiere is scheduled for 2027 on Prime Video.
