Resident Evil live-action Netflix series is on its way to set free the T-virus again. Netflix has announced the release date of the Resident Evil series as July 14 alongside some teaser posters (below).
Resident Evil introduces a survivor with a familiar surname, Jade Wesker. Here’s the show’s official synopsis:
“Year 2036 – 14 years after a deadly virus caused a global apocalypse, Jade Wesker fights for survival in a world overrun by the blood-thirsty infected and insane creatures. In this absolute carnage, Jade is haunted by her past in New Raccoon City, by her father’s chilling connections to the Umbrella Corporation but mostly by what happened to her sister, Billie.”
Alongside the synopsis, Netflix has released teaser posters that reveal what to expect from the show and a better idea of what the show will be about.

A previous announcement from Netflix confirmed that we’d see the story of two different timelines; Jade and Billie’s childhoods and decades after the viral outbreak.
“In the first timeline, fourteen-year-old sisters Jade and Billie Wesker are moved to New Raccoon City – a manufactured, corporate town, forced on them right as adolescence is in full swing. But the more time they spend there, the more they come to realize that the town is more than it seems, and their father may be concealing dark secrets. Secrets that could destroy the world.”
The second timeline comes after the global apocalypse…
“There are less than fifteen million people left on Earth. And more than six billion monsters – people and animals infected with the T-virus. Jade, now thirty, struggles to survive in this New World, while the secrets from her past – about her sister, her father, and herself – continue to haunt her.”
Andrew Dabb is writing the eight episodes of the upcoming Resident Evil Netflix series alongside Mary Leah Sutton. Lance Reddick will be playing Albert Wesker. Jade and Billie are the daughters of Albert and the show’s key characters.
