Resident Evil

The Resident Evil series is based on the survival horror game franchise of the same name, but takes some liberties in telling the story of the T-virus. The series follows the two adopted daughters of Albert Wesker as they learn about the dark secrets of Wesker’s seemingly benevolent workplace, the Umbrella Corporation.

After 14 years of the deadly virus that causes a global apocalypse, Jade Wesker is still fighting for survival in a globe that is overrun by the infected (zombies). Despite not following the plot of the original video game or the movies, some resemblance is still brought into this series such as a strong female lead fighting for survival and Umbrella Corporation’s sinister acts of pulling the strings.

Another thing to keep an eye out for are the gnarly monsters presented by the visual effects team which will blow you away. This show will premiere on Netflix and 8 long episodes keep you on your toes.

The first season of Resident Evil will feature eight 60-minute episodes, which have been split between four directors: Bronwen Hughes, Rob Seidenglanz, Rachel Goldberg, and Batán Silva.
