There have been rumors of aResident EvilNetflix series for years, but it looks like the project is finally moving forward. It’s been reported that theResident EvilNetflix series will start pre-production in April, with filming beginning in June and lasting until October, so it’s possible that fans will finally get to watch the show at some point in 2021.
This information was discovered by Redanian Intelligence, a site that specializes inThe WitcherNetflix news. The site discovered a production list that reveals theResident EvilNetflix series shooting dates, as well as its shooting location of South Africa. Furthermore, the production list also confirms that theResident EvilNetflix series will consist of eight 60-minute episodes. However, it should be noted that theResident EvilNetflix series has yet to be officially announced at the time of this writing.

No new plot information has been revealed about theResident EvilNetflix series, though past reports indicate that the show will be about theinner-workings of the Umbrella Corporation. This could mean that the show won’t necessarily follow the plot and characters from the video game series, which already has some fans nervous about how it will turn out.
A more recent report claims that theResident EvilNetflix characterswill be Jade and Billie Wesker, who are half-sisters and the daughters of series antagonist Albert Wesker. Again, this hasn’t been confirmed, but if true, it would likely mean that theResident EvilNetflix show will not be adapting any of the video games.
There’s still a lot about theResident EvilNetflix seriesthat’s being kept secret, but if the production list found by Redanian Intelligence is accurate, more information should come sooner rather than later. If theResident EvilNetflix series is truly set to start filming this summer, one has to imagine that Netflix will make an official announcement ahead of time and start seriously promoting it by the end of the year.
Even thoughThe WitcherNetflix seriesis an adaptation of the books and not the games, there’s no denying that plenty of video game fans flocked to it. PerhapsThe WitcherTV series has shown to Netflix that there is a large audience of gamers who would like to see their favorite video games in TV form. TheResident EvilNetflix project would be the next step of that, and if it’s a success, maybe we’ll see the streaming service giant pursue even more video game TV shows.
