The series is in early development and it’s “expected to explore the game’s non-linear narrative,” according to Deadline. In the game, you play as Jodie (portrayed by Page), and sometimes as a supernatural entity called Aiden to whom she is somehow connected. I haven’t played the game myself, but if you want to get a general idea of what it’s about, you can read Sean Hollister’s review of its debut on the PlayStation 3 in 2013.
“Filming the game was one of the most challenging and fulfilling acting experiences of my career,” Page says in a statement to Deadline. “The story’s rich narrative and emotional depth offer us a fantastic foundation. We want to create a unique vision of the characters and their journeys that resonates with fans and newcomers.”
There’s no potential release date for the TV adaptation yet and no word on where it might air.
