Square Enix and Legendary Digital Studios have teamed up to developer a digital TV series based off the popular episodic video game series, Life is Strange.

Dmitri Johnson and Dan Jevons of dj2 Entertainment, who recently produced the upcoming film Sonic the Hedgehog for Sony Pictures, will be developing and producing the series.


"Life is Strange is one of those rare properties that combines incredibly developed characters and storylines with deeply engaging gameplay," said Greg Siegel, Senior Vice President of Development and Production for Legendary Digital Studios. "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."

Jon Brooke, VP Brand and European Marketing at Square Enix, added: "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. Now that the first episode of the Life is Strange game is free to download on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Mac and PC, there’s never been a better time to play or to introduce a friend to the beautiful world of Arcadia Bay."

After years of supporting the site, he was brought on in 2010 as a junior analyst, working his way up to lead analyst in 2012.

I loved Life is Strange.
...and I'm not interested in the slightest in this.
But maybe they're trying to appeal to people outside the already established fan base.
