Persona is getting the live-action show treatment at Netflix, Star Trek: Picard and 9-1-1 writer attached as showrunner
Netflix is developing a live-action television adaptation of the Persona franchise, the acclaimed RPG series developed by Atlus’ P-Studio and published internationally by Sega. The production involves Netflix alongside production companies 21 Laps and Story Kitchen, with producers Shawn Levy, Dan Levine, and Robert Atwood overseeing the project.
Christopher Monfette, a writer and producer known for his work on Star Trek: Picard and the drama series 9-1-1, has been attached as showrunner. The adaptation arrives at a notable time for the franchise, with both Persona 4 Revival and Persona 6 currently in development, signaling increased momentum around the property.
The Persona series is recognized for its distinctive blend of JRPG gameplay, character-driven storytelling, and stylish presentation, which has built a dedicated global fanbase across multiple entries. Story Kitchen is highlighted as particularly central to the project, though details remain sparse regarding which games or storylines will form the basis of the adaptation and the show’s narrative scope.
