- Quick Answer: Netflix is developing a live-action television series based on the popular Persona videogame franchise, with key staff already attached.
Netflix is once again preparing a new videogame adaptation. This time, they'll tackle Atlus' Persona with a live-action series currently in development at the studio.
Variety reports that key staff attached to the project include Christopher Monfette as executive producer, writer, and showrunner, known for his work on projects like Star Trek: Picard and the 12 Monkeys TV show adaptations. Other executive producers include Deadpool & Wolverine director Shawn Levy.
SEGA's Toru Nakahara, who served as producer in the live-action Sonic films, will be overseeing the project as well. No information regarding story details was shared, as the adaptation seems to be in the very early stages of development.
Videogame adaptations are in vogue, with the likes of Sonic and Mario lighting up the box office in recent times. Netflix has found plenty of success of its own, with animated shows based on Castlevania, League of Legends (Arcane), Devil May Cry, or Cyberpunk 2077 receiving critical praise.
Adapting Persona into a live-action series is definitely a risky move. The series has crafted a very unique aesthetic with plenty of glitz and color that could be hard to replicate in real life.
In any case, it makes sense Netflix wants to capitalize on an already popular franchise that could get even more eyes on it in the coming years, with Persona 4 Revival set to be released in early 2027, and the highly anticipated Persona 6 already confirmed, although with no release timeframe attached to it.
