Netflix is reportedly developing a live-action TV adaptation of the hit video game, “Persona.”
Variety reported that the upcoming series will be based on the long-running Atlus role-playing franchise, though details about the project remain under wraps.
It’s still unclear whether the streaming giant will adapt a specific “Persona” game or draw from the franchise as a whole, which currently has six mainline titles and 15 related spinoffs.
Who’s Attached to Netflix’s ‘Persona’ Live-Action Project?
The rumored “Persona” live-action TV adaptation at Netflix is reportedly being written by Christopher Monfette, who will also serve as the show’s showrunner and executive producer, according to Variety.
Monfette previously worked on hit shows including “Star Trek: Picard” at Paramount+, “12 Monkeys,” at Syfy, and “9-1-1” for Fox and ABC. He is also attached as a writer and co-executive producer on the upcoming Marvel Disney+ series “VisionQuest.”
Shawn Levy and Robert Atwood are also on board to executive produce the series through 21 Laps. They will be joined by Dmitri M. Johnson, Michael Lawrence Goldberg, and Timothy I. Stevenson, who will executive produce through Story Kitchen. Toru Nakahara of Sega is also attached as an executive producer.
Netflix has not commented on the report.
