A Resident Evil live- action series is coming to Netflix in 2022. After times of enterprise we got evidence that the show was in the workshop with rephotographing taking place throughout the course of 2021. Then’s your first look at Resident Evil on Netflix and what we can anticipate.
Resident Evil is the forthcoming Netflix Original series grounded on the Capcom game of the same name. The ballot that launched in 1996 has spawned multitudinous videotape game conclusions, novels, and a popular movie ballot.
Netflix is putatively going each- by on Resident Evil with this live- action series and at least two animated systems too, the first of which was Resident Evil Horizonless Darkness which was released on Netflix in July 2021.
Netflix themselves did n’t actually post anything sanctioned regarding the live- action series until August 27th, 2020. That’s when they published the first details via the former NXonNetflix account.

.In the script that was posted by NXonNetflix in August 2020, we know that occasion one is called “ Drink to New Racoon City”. The occasion is written by Andrew Dabb and directed by Bronwen Hughes (The Walking Dead).
Andrew Dabb is conning the series. His former credits include Supernatural for The CW. This caused some original concern girding the tone of the first season but at this point, it’s too early to tell.
Before we dig further into the weeds, then’s your first look at Resident Evil in the form of a first look teaser of a zombie Doberman plus two prints in the form of a stylized interpretation of the canine seen in the teaser and the totem for the new series.
What’s the plot of Resident Evil season 1?
The series was first reported on back in January 2019 according to Deadline. The following was said about the plot of the forthcoming Resident Evil series;
“ The drama series will explore the dark inner workings of the Umbrella Corporation and the new world order caused by the outbreak of the T- contagion. While the design is in early stages, the series is anticipated to incorporate all of Resident Evil’s hand rudiments, including action sequences and easter eggs.”
In early 2020, Netflix’s Media point listed an sanctioned story description for the series (although it has ago been removed). Then’s what the description said
“ The city of Clearfield, MD has long stood in the shadow of three putatively unconnected mammoths – the Umbrella Corporation, the decommissioned Greenwood Asylum, and Washington,D.C. Today, twenty-six times after the discovery of the T- Contagion, secrets held by the three will start to be revealed at the first signs of outbreak.”
From our understanding, the story takes place over two timelines.
The first of which involves 14- time-old sisters Jade and Billie Wesker moving to New Raccoon City. They come to realize that their father may be concealing dark secrets that could destroy the world.
The alternate timeline takes place over a decade in the future, where only 15 million humans remain, with over 6 billion creatures and people being infected with the T- contagion. It follows Jade, now thirty, in her sweats to survive in this world.
How far in product is Resident Evil season one?
Originalpre-production was due to take place in April 2020 before the main shoot between June and October 2020. As you can presumably guess, those plans were thrown out after COVID-19 destroyed any and all product schedules in 2020. A new date of February 2021 was reported, but that has since changed as well.
Thanks to a former report from ProductionWeekly, we know that the Resident Evil series is deep into filming. Star photography began on September 8th, 2021, and is listed to end by December 14th, 2021. It must also be noted that the filming dates apply to the “ British Columbia Unit” which is taking place in Vancouver, Canada.
Filming will also take place in Cape Town, South Africa.
