This unannounced Resident Evil series is a Constantin Film project presently in pre-production.
Production[]
"We can’t tell you at the moment what we’re planning, but it’s no secret that Resident Evil is the biggest and longest-running franchise our company has ever had. We still have big plans for Resident Evil, with this universe of characters. We’re working on various projects at full steam. Resident Evil is by far the most successful franchise that Constantin Film has ever had. So just because one series didn’t get renewed, doesn’t mean we’ll throw in the towel." — Berben and Moszkowicz |
Work began on this series in 2022 as part of an internal shake-up of the company led by Oliver Berben and Martin Moszkowicz based on recent market trends. Owing to increasing costs, the two felt that theatrical films would be increasingly harder to profit from, and so Constantin should limit how many movies it makes to those most likely to succeed, and focus on streaming services for other projects.[1] Further internal changes occurred in 2023, with the hiring of Pamela L. Kunath to run their American ventures alongside Robert Kulzer.
Following Netflix's decision not to pick-up the Resident Evil TV series for a second season, Constantin is presently looking into a number of projects, which Berben has described as running at "full steam".[1]
