Netflix is ​​preparing a new series inspired by the Resident Evil video game saga, something very bold, considering the disaster marked by the last adaptation from said franchise to the small screen. So far, we haven’t had any information about this new series, but we were hoping that this failure taught Netflix a lesson. Unfortunately, it seems we were wrong.

The first details about the new Resident Evil series that Netflix is ​​preparing have already started to emerge, and the truth is that it does not look good. This series will limited to a simple story of six chapterssa focused on a single character, Sophie Marcus, who is the daughter of an “important character”.

The previous series focused on the story of Albert Wesker’s daughters, a similar plot and was done so poorly that It has the “honor” of being the worst adaptation of the franchise. This new series won’t be directly based on the video games and won’t star one of its most popular characters, so it’s clear that it’ll just be a zombie series that will try to capitalize on the pull that the Resident Evil title has.

The series is set in South Africa and will feature popular enemies such as Ceberus, hunters and spiders, and other enemies created for the occasion, such as an octopus mutated by the T virus, will appear.As for the plot, it seems that everything will revolve around Sophie’s desire to avenge her father, who was cloned.

Sophia will fall in love with Catherine in the shelter, there will be mentions of using herbs and healing sprays like in the games, and the zombies will be so evolved that they can use different weapons like machine guns and rocket launchers, as happened in Resident Evil 6. How I said earlier It doesn’t look good.

Constantin Film is in charge of this new series as well as a new movie, which thankfully looks better. This new film adaptation of the franchise will be a prequel to “Welcome to Racoon City” and will directly inspired by Resident Evil Zero. This means that it will tell what happened before the incident at Spencer’s mansion, and that Rebecca and Billy could be in it.

The film will be shot in Canada and will have a budget of $30 million. It will focus on Billy Coen, although it will have the presence of Ada Wong for a narrative reason to better connect with what happened in “Welcome to Racoon City.” In theory, it will be “faithful to Resident Evil Zero” to satisfy fans of the series. We’ll see if he really succeeds.
