Elliot Page, the star of the acclaimed PlayStation and Quantic Dream title *Beyond: Two Souls*, is spearheading a new project to bring the game's story to television. Through his production company, Pageboy Productions, Page has secured the rights from Quantic Dream to adapt the game into a TV series. The project is in its early stages, with plans to maintain the game's distinctive non-linear narrative. While specifics such as casting and release dates remain under wraps, the anticipation is already building.
Reflecting on his role in the original game, Page described the filming experience as "one of the most challenging and fulfilling acting experiences" of his career. He expressed enthusiasm about the TV adaptation, 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 to the adaptation. He emphasized their intention to "honor the game's legacy while inviting fresh perspectives," focusing on themes of survival and the impact of split-second decisions on personal and collective lives.
*Beyond: Two Souls* originally debuted on the PlayStation 3 in 2013, later expanding to PlayStation 4 and PC in 2015 and 2019, respectively. The game, directed and written by David Cage, revolves around Jodie Holmes, a young woman with psychic abilities linked to a spirit named Aiden. Its non-linear storytelling and the involvement of high-profile actors like Page and Willem Dafoe contributed to its success.
David Cage expressed his excitement about working with Page again on the TV adaptation, praising Page's performance in the game. He stated, "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."
