Matt Jordan Smitt, head of development and production at Pageboy, shared insights into the team's vision to "honor the game’s legacy while inviting fresh perspectives." He underscored the importance of exploring themes of survival and the impact of pivotal decisions on individuals and their communities.

Beyond: Two Souls initially debuted on the PlayStation 3 in 2013 and later expanded to PlayStation 4 and PC in 2015 and 2019, respectively. 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. Its non-linear storytelling and the involvement of high-profile actors like Page and Willem Dafoe contributed to its acclaim.

David Cage confirmed his collaboration with Page on the upcoming TV series, though the nature of his involvement has not been fully disclosed. Cage expressed enthusiasm about working with Page again, praising his performance in the game and his ability to bring the story to life on television. He noted, "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."
