RESIDENT EVIL Series Reportedly In Development At Netflix
In addition to a big-screen reboot, Constatin Film is reportedly developing a Resident Evil TV series for Netflix, which will "expand the universe & deepen the exiting mythology" of the video game series.
As far as we know, the Resident Evil movie reboot we heard about last year is still in the works, but a new report indicates that the zombie-inhabited world of Capcom's best-selling video game series is also set for the small-screen treatment.
According to Deadline, Constantin Film is developing a Resident Evil TV series for Netflix which will "expand the universe and deepen the exiting mythology." The show is expected to keep the basic survival-horror premise of the games, and "will explore the dark inner workings of the Umbrella Corporation and the new world order caused by the outbreak of the T-virus."
The project, which is only in the very early stages of development, is currently in search of a showrunner.
