Matt Jordan Smitt, Pageboy's head of development and production, emphasized the team's intention to honor the game's legacy while incorporating fresh perspectives. He highlighted the 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 girl with psychic abilities who interacts with a spirit named Aiden. The game's nonlinear storytelling, exploring various stages of Jodie's life, and its star-studded cast, including Page and Willem Dafoe, were notable aspects.

Cage confirmed his collaboration with Page on the TV series, although the extent of his involvement remains unspecified. He expressed excitement about the collaboration and confidence in Page's ability to bring a unique vision to the television adaptation.
