Beyond: Two Souls TV Series on the Way from Star Elliot Page

Elliot Page, the star of PlayStation and Quantic Dream's story-driven adventure game Beyond: Two Souls, is spearheading a TV series adaptation through his production company, Pageboy Productions. Having secured the rights from Quantic Dream, the project aims to bring the game's compelling narrative to television, maintaining its distinctive non-linear storytelling approach. While still in early development, the series promises to delve into the emotional depth and rich narrative that made the game stand out. Details such as casting and release dates are yet to be announced.

Reflecting on his role in the game, Page described it as "one of the most challenging and fulfilling acting experiences" of his career. He expressed enthusiasm about the project, noting, "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, shared insights into their approach, stating that they plan to "honor the game's legacy while inviting fresh perspectives." He highlighted the importance of exploring themes of survival and the impact of split-second decisions, which are central to the story of Jodie Holmes.

Beyond: Two Souls, originally released for the PlayStation 3 in 2013, later expanded to PlayStation 4 and PC in 2015 and 2019, respectively. Directed and written by David Cage of Quantic Dream, the game follows Jodie Holmes, a girl with psychic abilities linked to a spirit named Aiden. The narrative jumps across different periods of her life, and the game is notable for its high-profile cast, including Page and Willem Dafoe.

David Cage is set to collaborate with Page on the TV adaptation, though the specifics of his involvement remain undisclosed. Cage expressed his excitement, stating, "We are absolutely thrilled to collaborate again with Elliot Page on this project. I was blown away by his acting performance in the game, and I couldn’t think of anyone else to tell this story with the same passion on another medium. 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."
