Persona Live-Action TV Show in the Works at Netflix

It’s unclear if its plot will pull directly from any particular entry or tell a new story entirely. Five mainline games, a treasure trove of spin-offs, and even a few remakes have been released since the franchise’s inception in 1996, giving the live-action Persona TV show plenty of material to pull from. The most recent numbered entry, Persona 5, introduced fans to the Phantom Thieves when it first launched in 2016 and expanded the story with Persona 5 Royal in 2024.

Although nothing story-wise is confirmed yet, fans will surely waste no time spinning theories about what elements or characters may carry over to the series adaptation. As the project is early in development, release date and casting details also have yet to be announced.

Netflix has most notably worked with 21 Laps on its sci-fi mega hit Stranger Things, which ended late last year. It was also involved in the production of other television projects like The Perfect Couple and Last Man Standing. Its movie credits include Deadpool & Wolverine (which Levy directed) and Backrooms, with future projects like Star Wars: Starfighter (which Levy is also directing) in the cards.
