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

Elliot Page's Pageboy Productions is bringing the acclaimed PlayStation game Beyond: Two Souls to the small screen. Deadline reports the production company has secured the rights from Quantic Dream to adapt the story-driven adventure into a television series. The project, currently in early development, aims to retain the game's distinctive non-linear narrative structure. Further details regarding casting and release dates remain undisclosed.

Page, who starred in the original game, described the experience as "one of the most challenging and fulfilling acting experiences" of his career. He expressed a desire to create a unique television adaptation that resonates with both existing fans and new audiences, emphasizing the story's emotional depth and rich narrative.

Matt Jordan Smitt, head of development and production at Pageboy, highlighted the team's intention to honor the game's legacy while incorporating fresh perspectives. He emphasized the themes of survival and the impact of crucial decisions on individual lives as central to the narrative.

Initially released on PlayStation 3 in 2013, Beyond: Two Souls later saw releases on PlayStation 4 (2015) and PC (2019). The game, directed and written by Quantic Dream's David Cage, follows Jodie Holmes, a young woman with psychic abilities and her connection to a spirit named Aiden. The game's non-linear storyline, exploring various stages of Jodie's life, and its star-studded cast, including Page and Willem Dafoe, were notable aspects.

David Cage, collaborating with Page on the TV adaptation, expressed his enthusiasm for the project, praising Page's performance in the game and his suitability to bring the story to a new medium. He acknowledged the game's impact on millions of players and expressed confidence in Page's ability to create a unique television series.

The Beyond: Two Souls TV series is still in its early stages, with a release date yet to be determined. For now, you can revisit IGN's original review of the game here and explore all of our Quantic Dream game reviews here.
