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 underscored 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 and PC (2015 and 2019, respectively). 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 nonlinear storytelling and star-studded cast, including Page and Willem Dafoe, were defining features.

Cage confirmed his collaboration with Page on the TV series, although the specifics of his involvement remain unclear. He expressed excitement about the collaboration, praising Page's performance in the game and his suitability to bring the story to a new medium. He believes Page possesses the talent to create a unique television adaptation that captures the essence of Jodie and Aiden's journey.
