Elliot Page, star of the original game, is bringing PlayStation and Quantic Dream's Beyond: Two Souls to the small screen. Page's Pageboy Productions has secured the rights to adapt the story-driven adventure into a television series, according to Deadline. While still in early development, the project aims to retain the game's distinctive non-linear narrative. Further details, including casting and release dates, remain undisclosed.
Page described his experience filming the game as "one of the most challenging and fulfilling acting experiences" of his career, adding, "The story’s rich narrative and emotional depth offer us a fantastic foundation. We want to create a unique vision of the characters and their journeys that resonates with fans and newcomers."
Matt Jordan Smitt, head of development and production at Pageboy, emphasized the team's commitment to "honor the game’s legacy while inviting fresh perspectives," highlighting the exploration of "survival and how split-second decisions can alter not just our lives, but the lives of others" as central to the narrative.
Originally released for PlayStation 3 in 2013, Beyond: Two Souls later arrived on PlayStation 4 (2015) and PC (2019). Directed and written by Quantic Dream's David Cage, the game follows Jodie Holmes, a young woman with psychic abilities and her connection to a spirit named Aiden. Its non-linear storytelling and star-studded cast, including Page and Willem Dafoe, were key aspects of the game's success.
Cage confirmed his collaboration with Page on the TV adaptation, though the specifics of his involvement remain unannounced. He expressed his excitement, stating, “We are absolutely thrilled to collaborate again with Elliot Page on this project… Beyond: Two Souls is a very special game for millions of players around the world who were moved by the story of Jodie and Aiden, and their journey in life and beyond. I know that Elliot has all the talent and instinct to make it something really unique on TV.”
