Originally released on PlayStation 3 in 2013, Beyond: Two Souls later saw releases on PlayStation 4 (2015) and PC (2019). Directed and written by David Cage, the game follows Jodie Holmes, a young woman with psychic abilities and her connection to a spirit named Aiden. The game's compelling narrative, featuring a non-linear structure and notable performances from Page and Willem Dafoe, garnered significant attention.

David Cage confirmed his collaboration with Page on the TV series, though the specifics of his involvement remain unclear. He expressed his enthusiasm for the project, 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."
