Netflix has a Resident Evil TV series in the works

Deadline

The streaming service is developing a scripted TV series based on the action-horror franchise. According to Deadline's Nellie Andreeva, the Resident Evil TV series will be a Netflix global original using the same German production and distribution company behind the movie franchise that has spanned six films since launching in 2002. "No one is commenting but I hear the plan is for the series to expand the Resident Evil universe and deepen the exiting mythology," reports Andreeva. "I hear 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. 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.'"
