Resident Evil is an upcoming television service to be streamed on Netflix.
Plot summary
"The town of Clearfield, MD has long stood in the shadow of three seemingly unrelated behemoths – the Umbrella Corporation, the decommissioned Greenwood Asylum, and Washington, D.C. Today, twenty-six years after the discovery of the T-Virus, secrets held by the three will start to be revealed at the first signs of outbreak." |
Production
Planning for the Resident Evil TV series began in 2014 after a shake-up within Constantin Film. Two shows were announced by Martin Moszkowicz. The first, a Mortal Instruments adaptation (later titled Shadowhunters), was put into pre-production after Screen Gems backed out of the planned feature film, The Mortal Instruments: City of Ashes. Shadowhunters went through three seasons and was financed and filmed by ABC before its cancellation in 2019. The second was a Resident Evil adaptation to begin work following the release of Resident Evil: The Final Chapter, which was stalled in pre-production and released in early 2017.[1][2]
When the series entered pre-production is presently unknown, though it appears to have started after ScreenGems began pre-production of a reboot film project directed by Johannes Roberts. Information relating to the Netflix series was leaked on 7 February 2020 following the addition of the official webpage to Netflix's servers, making the series temporarily present in search results.[3] This was quickly reported on by the Brazilian fan-site Resident Evil Database.[4] Within hours, Netflix hid the show from its results.[5]
