Matt Jordan Smitt, Pageboy's head of development and production, highlighted the team's commitment to honoring 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 young woman with psychic abilities and her connection to a spirit named Aiden. The game's non-linear storyline, showcasing various stages of her life, and its star-studded cast, including Page and Willem Dafoe, were notable aspects.
Cage confirmed his collaboration with Page on the TV series, although the extent of his involvement remains unspecified. He expressed his excitement about the project and his confidence in Page's ability to create a unique television adaptation.
The Beyond: Two Souls TV series is still in early development. For now, you can find IGN's original review of the game here and a compilation of all our Quantic Dream game reviews here.
