Netflix has premiered the teaser trailer for its live-action zombie drama series “Resident Evil” which adapts the hit video game and film franchise.
The story unfolds in both 2022 and 2036 – the latter period fourteen years after a deadly virus caused a global apocalypse. Jade Wesker (Ella Balinska/Tamara Smart) fights for survival in a world overrun by the blood-thirsty infected and insane creatures.
In this absolute carnage, she is haunted by her past in New Raccoon City, by her father’s (Lance Reddick) chilling connections to the Umbrella Corporation, but mostly by what happened to her sister Billie (Adeline Rudolph/Siena Agudong).
Andrew Dabb (“Supernatural”) serves as showrunner on the series which is quite separate from last year’s “Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City” feature film.
“Resident Evil” will debut globally on Netflix on July 14th.
