You know how each Character the game ends with a god in all his pride proclaiming that humanity desires destruction and feeling nothing and just vibrating in eternal darkness, or something else? I feel like we’re facing this problem right now, as Netflix has latched onto Atlus’ supernatural teen life sim RPG as its next live-action adaptation while the real one Character heads shout “no, you idiot” at his barely corporeal form.
On June 29, Variety reported thataccording to sources, Netflix is currently developing a live-action series based on the Character franchise. The report does not specify which game or characters from the popular Atlus series will appear in the series or if it will be a new story set in the same universe. Earlier this month, Atlus officially teased the next entry in the series, Character 6.
Christophe Monfette would be attached to write the series and would also serve as executive producer and showrunner. Previously, Monfette wrote and produced shows like 9-1-1 for Fox and ABC as well as Star Trek Picard for Paramount.
Variety says Netflix declined to comment on the report Character series.
Shawn Levy and Robert Atwood will also executive produce the film. Character series via 21 Laps, which recently helped produce the box office blockbuster Behind the scenes. Levy directed Deadpool and Wolverine. His next film is Star Wars: Starfighter. Story Kitchen is also involved in the Persona series at Netflix. Story Kitchen is a studio that has its hands on other upcoming adaptations, like a Divided flition real action project.
THE Character live-action series could still flop as they would be in the early stages of development. This is something I imagine a lot of fans could get behind right now…
But if it doesn’t, it will join other Netflix video game adaptations, like The Witcher, Arcane, And Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, which returns for a highly anticipated second season later this year.
