Matt Jordan Smitt, Pageboy's head of development and production, stated their intention to honor the game's legacy while incorporating fresh perspectives. He emphasized the themes of survival and the impact of crucial decisions as central to the narrative.
Originally released for PlayStation 3 in 2013, Beyond: Two Souls later appeared on PlayStation 4 (2015) and PC (2019). Directed and written by Quantic Dream's David Cage, the game follows Jodie Holmes, a girl with psychic abilities connected to a spirit named Aiden. Its non-linear narrative and star-studded cast, including Page and Willem Dafoe, were notable features.
Cage confirmed his collaboration with Page on the TV series, although the extent of his involvement remains unspecified. He expressed his excitement about the collaboration and confidence in Page's ability to create a unique television adaptation.
