'Resident Evil' Netflix TV series reportedly in the works
According to an exclusive Deadline report, Netflix is giving yet another video game series the TV adaptation treatment. This time it will apparently be Resident Evil, which will be produced by Constantin Film, which is behind all six Resident Evil movies beginning in 2002. However, they are still looking for a showrunner for the adaptation.
The report notes that "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-virus. While the project is in early stages, the series is expected to incorporate all of Resident Evil’s signature elements, including action sequences and “easter eggs.”
While Netflix hasn't confirmed or denied the report, it is not surprising if the company undertakes such an endeavor given that it has already adapted the popular video game series Castlevania and The Witcher is in the works, but the latter is an adaptation of the book rather than the video game.
