According to Dabba, he’s a big fan of the Resident Evil and makes a show that will appeal to all fans of the game: “In the series, viewers will meet a lot of friends and stuff (bloodthirsty, crazy), had never before seen”.

Dubb will write and showrunner for the series and executive produce alongside Robert Kulzer, Oliver Berben, and Marry Leah Sutton of Constantin Film. Bronwen Hughes, best known for The Walking Dead, will produce and direct the first two episodes.

The Netflix series will tell its own story, divided into two storylines. In the first, 14-year-old sisters Jade and Billy Wesker move to New Raccoon City, an artificially created corporate city in which girls have to live. But the more time they spend there, the more they realize that the city is bigger than it seems, and their father hides dark secrets. Secrets that can ruin the world.

The second storyline unfolds 16 years later. Less than 15 million people remain on Earth, but there are over 6 billion monsters (animals and people infected with the T-virus). Jade, which at that time is already 30 years old, is struggling to survive in the new world, while the secrets of her of the past – about her sister, father, and herself – continue to haunt the girl.

Recall that the first Resident Evil was released in 1996. Today it is one of the most famous franchises with over 100 million copies sold worldwide. In the years since the release of the first part, several theme parks have been opened, as well as six feature films.
