Elliot Page's Beyond: Two Souls TV Adaptation Announced

Elliot Page, star of the original game, is bringing Quantic Dream’s Beyond: Two Souls to the small screen. Page’s Pageboy Productions has secured the rights from Quantic Dream to adapt the story-driven adventure into a television series. Currently in early development, the show aims to preserve the game’s celebrated non-linear narrative. Further details, including casting and release dates, remain under wraps.

Page described his experience filming the game as “one of the most challenging and fulfilling acting experiences” of his career, adding, “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, emphasized the team’s commitment to honoring the game’s legacy while incorporating fresh perspectives. He highlighted the core 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. Its non-linear storytelling, exploring various stages of Jodie’s life, and its star-studded cast, including Page and Willem Dafoe, garnered significant acclaim.

David Cage is collaborating with Page on the television adaptation, although the specifics of his involvement remain undisclosed. Cage expressed his excitement, stating, “We are absolutely thrilled to collaborate again with Elliot Page on this project… 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… I know that Elliot has all the talent and instinct to make it something really unique on TV.”
