Netflix’s “Resident Evil” television series arrives tomorrow, on July 14, 2022. Ahead of release, we have a brand new clip that introduces one of the iconic mainstays from the franchise: the zombie dog, aka Cerebus.
It’s only the tip of the iceberg ahead for the franchise Easter eggs, references, and iconic monsters drawn from the expansive video game franchise.
The 8-episodes series was written/executive produced by Mary Leah Sutton, who appears in the featurette to shed some light on the series’ approach to evolving the story from its video game origins. Stars Lance Reddick and Ella Balinska also weigh in on the unpredictable story ahead.
Showrunner Andrew Dabb previously shared that the creative team took “all the games and shuffled them together” for the Netflix series, which plays with various elements fans will recognize.
“The all-new series expansion brings the best of the Resident Evil DNA forward – bad-ass heroines, insane creatures (some new/some familiar), a battle for survival and of course, a deep mystery to unravel. Andrew Dabb (Supernatural) expands the directions with fresh storytelling, bone-chilling horror and an action-packed spectacle perfect for summer binging.”
Netflix’s “Resident Evil” is set in: “2036 – 14 years after a deadly virus caused a global apocalypse, Jade Wesker fights for survival in a world overrun by the blood-thirsty infected and insane creatures. In this absolute carnage, Jade is haunted by her past in New Raccoon City, by her father’s chilling connections to the Umbrella Corporation but mostly by what happened to her sister, Billie.”
The cast includes:
- Lance Reddick as ALBERT WESKER
- Ella Balinska
- Tamara Smart
- Siena Agudong
- Adeline Rudolph
- Paola Nuñez
- Ahad Raza Mir
- Connor Gossatti
- Turlough Convery
“Resident Evil” was produced by Robert Kulzer, Oliver Berben, and Martin Moszkowicz of Constantin Film.
The original Capcom Resident Evil was released in 1996, launching an expansive video game and movie franchise that’s still going strong.
