Elliot Page, the original star of PlayStation and Quantic Dream's narrative-driven game *Beyond: Two Souls*, is set to bring the story to television through his production company, Pageboy Productions. According to Deadline, Pageboy has secured the rights from Quantic Dream to adapt the game into a TV series. The project is still in its early stages, but the team aims to maintain the game's signature non-linear storytelling. Details such as casting and release dates remain under wraps.
Reflecting on his experience, Page told Deadline that filming *Beyond: Two Souls* was "one of the most challenging and fulfilling acting experiences" of his career. He expressed enthusiasm about the project, stating, "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 on their approach, noting that the team plans to "honor the game’s legacy while inviting fresh perspectives." He emphasized the importance of exploring themes of survival and the impact of split-second decisions, which are central to the narrative of *Beyond: Two Souls*.
Originally released for the PlayStation 3 in 2013, *Beyond: Two Souls* later became available on PlayStation 4 and PC in 2015 and 2019, respectively. Directed and written by Quantic Dream's David Cage, the game follows the life of Jodie Holmes, a young woman with psychic abilities who can interact with a spirit named Aiden. The game's non-linear structure and the involvement of high-profile actors like Page and Willem Dafoe contributed to its acclaim.
David Cage expressed his excitement about collaborating with Page on the TV adaptation, though the details of his involvement are yet to be clarified. Cage praised Page's performance in the game, saying, "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."
