Resident Evil TV Series Coming to Netflix
Resident Evil is coming to the small screen with a TV adaptation on Netflix. Resident Evil, the popular survival horror video game series from Capcom, is being adapted into a TV series.
For the first season of Resident Evil, Netflix has given its producers an eight episode order. The TV series will have two storylines that will run parallel to each other.
The Timelines
Resident Evil Timeline 1
In the first timeline, fourteen-year-old sisters Jade and Billie Wesker are moved to New Raccoon City. A manufactured, corporate town, forced on them right as adolescence is in full swing. But the more time they spend there, the more they come to realize that the town is more than it seems and their father may be concealing dark secrets. Secrets that could destroy the world.
Resident Evil Timeline 2
Cut to the second timeline, well over a decade into the future: there are less than fifteen million people left on Earth. And more than six billion monsters — people and animals infected with the T-virus. Jade, now thirty, struggles to survive in this New World, while the secrets from her past – about her sister, her father and herself – continue to haunt her.
Cast and crew
No casting members for the TV series have been cast yet.
Bronwen Hughes will direct the first two episodes of the TV series.
Constantin Film, the company that produced the Resident Evil films, will produce the TV series. Andrew Dabb will write the screenplays for the TV series.
Dabb executive produces the series with Robert Kulzer and Oliver Berben of Constantin Film and Mary Leah Sutton. Constantin Film CEO Martin Moszkowicz serves as producer.
Hughes will produce the first two episodes of the TV series.
The Familiar and New
Dabb said this is what the viewer can expect from the TV series:
“For every type of Resident Evil fan, including those joining us for the first time, the series will be complete with a lot of old friends, and some things (bloodthirsty, insane things) people have never seen before”
