Matt Jordan Smitt, Pageboy's head of development and production, stated the team's intention to honor the game's legacy while incorporating fresh perspectives. He emphasized the exploration of survival and the impact of crucial decisions as central themes.

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 girl with psychic abilities connected to a spirit named Aiden. Its nonlinear narrative, spanning different stages of her life, and its star-studded cast (including Page and Willem Dafoe) were key aspects of the game's success.

Cage confirmed his collaboration with Page on the TV series, although the specifics of his involvement remain unannounced. He expressed his excitement about working with Page again, praising his performance in the game and his ability to bring the story to life on a new platform. He noted the game's emotional impact on millions of players.

The Beyond: Two Souls TV series is still in early stages of production. For now, IGN's original review can be found here, and all Quantic Dream game reviews are available here.
