Prime Video’s “Life Is Strange” has added Tom Cullen (“Downton Abbey”), Leisha Hailey (“The L Word”), Raúl Castillo (Smile 2), and Owen Teague (IT).
They join previously announced leads Maisy Stella (My Old Ass) and newcomer Tatum Grace Hopkins.
The show 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.”
Cullen is set to play Mark Jefferson, Max’s teacher. Hailey will play Chloe’s mother, Joyce Price, with Castillo as Chloe’s stepfather, David Madsen. Teague will appear as local drug dealer Frank Bowers.
“Life Is Strange” is created by showrunner Charlie Covell (“The End of the F***ing World”), who also writes along with Mackenzie Dohr (“WandaVision”). Karyn Kusama (Jennifer’s Body, The Invitation) will direct the first two episodes.
The series hails from Square Enix, Story Kitchen, and LuckyChap, with Amazon MGM Studios producing. Executive producers include Covell, Dohr, Kusama, Dmitri M. Johnson, Michael Lawrence Goldberg, Timothy I. Stevenson, Jen Roskind, Dani Gorin, and Natalie Berkus.
Variety first reported on the cast additions.
