Multiple outlets report that Netflix is developing a live-action adaptation of the Persona video game franchise, citing Variety and unnamed sources. The report says Netflix has reached a deal for an adaptation to be broadcast on its streaming platform, but it does not specify which Persona game(s) the series would draw from or whether it will be based directly on a particular entry.
The reported creative team includes Christopher Monfette, who is described as writer, producer, and showrunner. Executive producers are reported to include Shawn Levy and Robert Atwood through their company 21 Laps Inc. Story Kitchen is also said to be involved, along with several of its executives: Dmitri M. Johnson, Michael Lawrence Goldberg, and Timothy I. Stevenson. Sega’s Toru Nakahara is reported to participate in a production role.
Because the deal has not been publicly announced, the scope and format of the project remain unclear, and further details are not yet available.
