New Details Revealed For Netflix's RESIDENT EVIL Series
Last year it was announced that Netflix would be producing a live-action Resident Evil series. The series is being developed by Constantine Film, who was behind the original film franchise.
In the initial announcement, we learned that the series would “expand the Resident Evil universe and deepen the exciting mythology.” They go on to say that the series will keep “the basic premise, which also served as a setup for the movie franchise. 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.” The series is also “expected to incorporate all of Resident Evil’s signature elements, including action sequences and easter eggs.”
We now have some new details to share with you regarding the story. Netflix recently updated its Media Center page and accidentally posted an official story synopsis of the project. They realized they made a mistake by posting it and pulled it down, but not before the Internet got a hold of it! Here’s the description:
"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.”
The series is expected to go into production soon and I’m curious to see how it turns out. I hope that they get a great and talented creative team to bring it to life.
