Before The Storm, the prequel series to excellent choose-your-own-Adventure Life Is Strange from Dontnod, will be getting a bonus episode called 'Farewell' that will bring back the original game's voice actors. Hannah Telle and Ashly Burch will reprise their roles as Max and Chloe, after being previously unable to do so thanks to the SAG-AFTRA Voice Actor's Strike.

The 'Farewell' episode is part of the Deluxe Edition of Life Is Strange: Before The Storm and may be the last time main characters Max Caulfield and Chloe Price are seen together, so it's fitting that the original voice actors join in. Hannah Telle and Ashly Burch played the characters in Life Is Strange, but due to the Video Game Voice Actor Strike Ashly was unable to reprise her role as Chloe (Max doesn't feature in the game). In Before The Storm young Chloe is played by Rhianna DeVries.
Here's what Jeff Litchford, Vice President of Before The Storm's developer Deck Nine Games, had to say about bringing the original actors back:
"The team here were thrilled to hear the news that both Hannah Telle and Ashly Burch were able to come back together again to voice Max and Chloe. We were really happy with Rhianna DeVries’ performance as Chloe in Before the Storm and the fan reaction to her has been great, she’ll continue to work closely with us as part of a really close team we have created."
The 'Farewell' bonus episode of Life Is Strange: Before The Storm is available is early 2018, after the third and final episode of the main game. It's currently only available to owners of the Deluxe Edition of the game, although Square Enix may let people buy it separately when it comes out.
