Filming for the Life is Strange series based on the cult video game Life is Strange begins any day now, and Amazon has decided to whet fans’ appetite with a new photo. The photo, taken on a Polaroid film camera, features the two main characters: Max Caulfield and Chloe Price. And yes, it’s the exact same camera Max used in the original game—a small, but nice touch.
The discovery was made by user P1vsTheWorld, who keeps track of all the news in the universe. He pulled the image from the social media accounts of the actresses—Tatum Grace Hopkins (Max) and Macy Stella (Chloe). Fans have already noted that Macy has blue-tinted hair—just like the rebellious Chloe herself. The look is spot-on, as they say.

She rescues her childhood friend Chloe and then joins her in investigating the disappearance of a fellow student.

But fans haven’t given up hope: the book Life is Strange: Welcome to Caledon University teased a concept where Safi and Diamond are searching for characters from previous games. This could be a hint at a sequel.
