Netflix has been working on a new Resident Evil series for some time. The project was officially announced a year ago. Since then, however, the successor to the iconic original films has been quiet. Many details about the alleged act came to light recently.
In addition to a new movie about Resident Evil, a Netflix series on the popular horror franchise is also set to appear. With the reboot for the big screen, you apparently want to go back to the dark roots that you could experience especially in video games. Instead, the new series should take a slightly different direction if you want to believe the latest reports. They allegedly found out the plot of the pilot episode, written by Andrew Dabb. Among other things, Dabb is already working on numerous episodes of the mystery series Supernatural. It is to be directed by Euros Lyn, who worked for Doctor Who and the mini series Children Of Earth.
In the new Resident Evil Netflix series, we get to know Jade and Billie Wesker, both of whom are supposed to be the main characters. The two half-sisters are daughters of Albert Wesker, who connoisseurs of the series may recognize as villains. Jade and Billie Wesker, however, do not appear in the video games. So one can assume that Netflix will take a different approach with the new series.
The plot is said to start in 2022 when the small family moves to Racoon 2. In the seemingly peaceful settlement, something seems to be going wrong. It was built by the shady Umbrella Corporation, a huge group for biological research and pharmacy. We get to know Albert Wesker as the 60-year-old father figure for Jade and Billie. Weser keeps his dark past secret, which is said to play a major role in the course of history. We also land in a second time level in 2036, when humanity was almost completely wiped out by a zombie virus. Here Jade Wesker is clearly in the foreground and has to fight through the masses of the undead as a tough fighter. It also has to assert itself against the so-called Zeroes. These are blind and deaf zombies, but they have an extremely good sense of smell.
Since the information has not yet been officially confirmed, you should of course enjoy it with caution. It is to be hoped that Netflix’s series can reasonably supplement the story of Resident Evil. At this point, there is of course no information about when exactly the series will start.
