Elliot Page, through his production company Pageboy Productions, has secured the rights to adapt the critically acclaimed PlayStation and Quantic Dream game, *Beyond: Two Souls*, into a television series. According to Deadline, the project is in the early stages of development and aims to maintain the game's signature non-linear narrative. Details such as casting and release dates remain under wraps, but anticipation is building for what promises to be a compelling adaptation.
Reflecting on his experience, Page shared with Deadline that filming *Beyond: Two Souls* was among the most challenging and rewarding roles of his career. He emphasized the game’s rich narrative and emotional depth, 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, highlighted the team's intention to honor the game's legacy while introducing fresh perspectives. He noted, "Delving into questions of survival and how split-second decisions can alter not just our lives, but the lives of others, are key to telling the story."
Originally launched on the PlayStation 3 in 2013, *Beyond: Two Souls* later expanded to the PlayStation 4 in 2015 and PC in 2019. Directed and penned by Quantic Dream's David Cage, the game follows Jodie Holmes, a young woman with psychic abilities who interacts with a spirit named Aiden. The game gained recognition not only for its innovative storytelling but also for its cast, including Page and Willem Dafoe.
David Cage expressed his excitement about collaborating with Page again, saying, "We are absolutely thrilled to collaborate again with Elliot Page on this project. 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."
