Resident Evil Netflix

Capcom's survival horror granddaddy of a series Resident Evil is hitting the small screen at last today, with the arrival of Netflix's TV adaptation.

Its showrunner, Supernatural’s Andrew Dabb, has gone on record with Netflix’s winkingly named Tudum site to sell the connections to the Resident Evil games. He’s long-time series antagonist Albert Wesker, so of course he’s tinkering with Umbrella bioweapons that have something to do with the downfall of the world in the future. The Resident Evil show follows twins Jade Wesker (Tamara Smart) and Billie Wesker (Siena Agudong) across two timelines: present-day New Raccoon City and all over post-apocalyptic Earth in 2036.

This gory, cliffhanger-packed video game adaptation is eight hours of mindless, blood-soaked zombie fun – just what you need to forget about 2022.

The end of every episode is a bigger cliffhanger. In 2036, Billie is a field researcher who studies the evolution of the virus. But – and here’s the thing, the blessed, precious thing – none of it matters. Maybe it has something to do with the mysterious circumstances of your birth and/or the injections your father gave you throughout your childhood? That is the guarantee of the video-game-based action series adaptation. If you are, too, then hurry yourself along to Netflix’s iteration of Resident Evil and have yourself a mindlessly fantastic eight hours.

Resident Evil fans, hold fire. The new Netflix series, starring Lance Reddick as Albert Wesker, is sure to invite hordes of burning questions and puzzled ...

The Netflix series also teases how the issue of Albert Wesker’s seeming ‘death’ in Resident Evil 5 will be resolved. The Raccoon City Incident does happen decades prior in 1998, confirming that everything that took place in Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3 is part of the Netflix series’ world. The Netflix series may be set in New Raccoon City in 2022 and post-apocalypse Europe in 2036, but the events of the games are all part of this universe.

Irish actor Turlough has racked up some impressive credits in some of the biggest shows of the past decade. As well as acting in Spanish-language shows, the 44-year-old appeared in action horror series The Purge, based on the film of the same name. But perhaps she is most recognisable for joining the Bad Boys franchise in 2020 for the film Bad Boys for Life with Will Smith and Martin Lawrence. You can spot the 17-year-old on screen in the Nickelodeon comedy series Star Falls and the fantasy-sports comedy film Alex & Me. The cast of Resident Evil have some impressive gigs on their CVs, such as Lance Reddick, who was on The Wire, and Turlough Convery, who acted alongside The Help’s Jodie Comer in Killing Eve.

Who is the character in the Netflix series? Who is Albert Wesker in Resident Evil on Netflix?

Netflix's Resident Evil reboot has an all-new cast, which includes John Wick star Lance Reddick as Albert Wesker and Ella Balinska as his daughter, Jade.

What else has Turlough Convery been in? What else has Siena Agudong been in? What else has Tamara Smart been in? Nuñez has starred in several films and television shows produced in her home country of Mexico, including long-standing roles in a number of telenovelas (Spanish-language soap operas).

Not that there's much reason to sweat the details or worry too much about the longevity of anyone other than her. That might be true strictly for Netflix's purposes in terms of connecting with fans. Balinska is a solid enough lead taking into account the confining nature of the writing, as Milla Jovovich could probably attest after her half-dozen action-laden outings.

Netflix's new Resident Evil series is a Wesker family drama that ditches the horror. Why?

The show does a lot of work building on the story of the games and laying the foundation for future seasons should the show get picked up again. This Resident Evil is a family drama first and foremost, which is sure to turn off fans with certain, well-warranted expectations of the franchise. Some of the teen drama the girls grapple with at school feels a little aimless as well, but thank goodness Smart, Agudong, and Reddick are terrific together and elevate some of the weaker moments just enough to pull us through. Again, this is a show made for fans by fans, and to experience the story in full effect, the viewer should at this point be asking themselves, “Wait…didn’t he die in a volcano?” And yet, this is precisely how we meet him in the show, which should raise the eyebrows of longtime fans and mean, well, absolutely nothing to newcomers. But as you get deeper into the season, it becomes clear that the show is a direct continuation of the Resident Evil saga, centered on none other than Albert Wesker.

Resident Evil adaptations have been around for years thanks to the action franchise of films, but the latest spin on the survival horror games comes in the ...

Although it sounds like there won't be full timeline centered around the events of the late 1990s, it is pretty exciting to hear that fans may get to see more of those moments and perhaps even see some other iconic characters pop up in this world. I don’t know that we’re looking to introduce a full third timeline - two is probably enough - but I think little pops and flashes here and there can be really fun and can present moments from the game which are obviously part of our lore to the audience in a way that informs the current story that’s going on. It's clear that everything that happened in the early games have shaped this world, but a lot of the details are left to the imagination and new fans would be able to follow along even if they have no idea what happened back around 1998.

Netflix's "Resident Evil" takes on the video game franchise, but many of the human characters lack bite.

Since half the show is future-set, there are some twists later on — mostly “Who is still alive in 2036 and how did they survive?” — but the disparate zombie parts do not make a cohesive zombie whole. The “Resident Evil” franchise has been around for more than 25 years, launching as a horror game in the mid ’90s that terrified players with its grotesque monsters and haunting world. Netflix’s “ Resident Evil” series is no different, infusing its take on the undead with multiple timelines, teen drama and a sci-fi pharmaceutical company bent on world domination.

But remember: The show already goes out of its way to build a story that's faithful to the events of the past. In all the ways that matter, though, the Netflix series is mindful of the world-building that preceded its arrival. It's important to remember, too: The last time gamers had any contact at all with Albert Wesker was in 2009's Resident Evil 5, which was set in the same year it came out. There's also a masked, chainsaw-wielding baddie who bears a striking resemblance to one of the threats players encounter in Resident Evil 4, but he serves a different purpose here and it's clearly not meant to be the same character. None of this is to say that the Netflix story is fully set within the same universe as all the games. There's even a "master of unlocking" gag, which plays with a widely mocked moment from the original Resident Evil. Totally different context on the show, but that's what makes it fun. But it's not subtle about referencing a fictional history that seems to tie in with the events of the games. The very first Resident Evil game is set in the fictional Midwestern town of Raccoon City, and the first Zero outbreak happened there in 1998. The giant centipede Zero that appears in the opening episode is almost identical to one that appears in a boss fight from the game Resident Evil 0. What I would say is there's nothing in the show's story so far making it utterly clear that Game Wesker and TV Wesker are separate people. The 2022 timeline introduces us to Albert, Jade, and Billie just as they're settling into New Raccoon City, a well-appointed company town established in South Africa, not too far from the capital city of Cape Town. But against all odds, the eight-episode live-action series from Andrew Dabb, a veteran of The CW's Supernatural story team, tells a riveting story about shady corporate maneuvering, the end of the world, and none other than Albert Wesker himself.

He shared: ‘The character in the series is very nuanced, but [there are] also several different facets to his character. More so, their dad could be hiding dark secrets that threaten to destroy the world. Part of that is very much the Albert Wesker from the game. Resident Evil is based on the Japanese horror game series and media franchise of the same name created by Capcom. However, the new series is set in its own continuity separate from either the previous Anderson film series or the 2021 film. How does the Resident Evil Netflix series fit in with the movies?

Netflix series Resident Evil is technically an adaptation of the popular horror video games, but the new show is almost unrecognisable in some areas.

Resident Evil is available to stream on Netflix from Thursday 14th July 2022. "Jill, here's a lock pick. In response to fans and critics, Capcom has recently reverted back to the play-style of the earlier games, so it's a bold choice for this Netflix series to continue down a course in the opposite direction. This version of Wesker has raised many an eyebrow among fans, as the infamous villain is shown to be a loving father to two teenage daughters, which doesn't line up with his appearance in the first game (from which this show supposedly takes its cues). The story of Netflix's Resident Evil is actually directly connected to the games, taking place in a world where the events of the 1996 original and 1998 sequel unfolded exactly as remembered. "We have tons of people who know everything about Resident Evil and the Resident Evil lore, but we really want to open it up to new audiences," assured executive producer Mary Leah Sutton. "It's a new take on a franchise but it's also its own thing."

The world of 'Resident Evil' has gotten decidedly weirder, with Zootopia porn referenced in the new Netflix series.

The game series it is based upon never went near any of these subjects, and, again, is primarily focused on the Umbrella Corporation and horrific villains like Albert Wesker. Now, we’re in a new age and Resi is on Netflix. In case you were ever curious, Zootopia porn is now canon in Resident Evil.
