Netflix producer Shawn Levy’s 21 Laps is developing a live-action adaptation of Atlus’s Persona games, with Christopher Monfette named as head writer. The article argues that the production must preserve the games’ emphasis on friendships and personal bonds, as this is both central to Persona and a strength of 21 Laps’ work on Stranger Things.

Persona combines high-school life with supernatural threats, but its stories rely on characters building relationships that affect the protagonist’s success. The article cites Stranger Things’ evolving group dynamics — including Eleven, Steve and Robin — as evidence that Levy’s team could handle this aspect well; it also notes that the franchise offers six main games as possible source material.
