Netflix is developing a live-action TV series based on Atlus' Persona franchise with Story Kitchen and 21 Laps attached. The project continues the streamer's focus on video game adaptations as the series readies a major remaster for 2027.

The games usually follow Japanese high school students who juggle everyday routines with battles against evil by summoning Personas.
