The upcoming TV series based on Life Is Strange has cast Tatum Grace Hopkins as Max Caulfield, the photography student who can manipulate time, and Maisy Stella as her strong-willed friend, Chloe Price. The game’s popularity relies heavily on the dynamic between Max and Chloe, so the success of the show depends on how well these two actresses portray their connection. Stella is already known from her work on Nashville, while Hopkins is new to television but has a strong background in Broadway. Choosing relatively unknown leads is a deliberate decision by the studio, aiming to let viewers connect with the characters without being influenced by pre-existing ideas about the actresses.
