Netflix’s “Resident Evil” television series will debut globally on Netflix on July 14, 2022, the very first live-action series for the popular video game franchise. The first teaser trailer was unleashed by Netflix just last month, and today Entertainment Weekly is providing us with another look at the upcoming series through a set of first-look images they just debuted.

Showrunner Andrew Dabb tells EW that the creative team took “all the games and shuffled them together” for the Netflix series, which plays with various elements fans will recognize.

Netflix’s “Resident Evil” takes place around the time of Resident Evil Village, EW also notes in their overview of the debut season. Head over to EW to learn much more about the series.

“The all-new series expansion brings the best of the Resident Evil DNA forward – bad-ass heroines, insane creatures (some new/some familiar), a battle for survival and of course, a deep mystery to unravel. Andrew Dabb (Supernatural) expands the directions with fresh storytelling, bone-chilling horror and an action-packed spectacle perfect for summer binging.”

The series set in: “2036 – 14 years after a deadly virus caused a global apocalypse, Jade Wesker fights for survival in a world overrun by the 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.”

The cast includes:

  • Lance Reddick as ALBERT WESKER
  • Ella Balinska
  • Tamara Smart
  • Siena Agudong 
  • Adeline Rudolph  
  • Paola Nuñez
  • Ahad Raza Mir 
  • Connor Gossatti 
  • Turlough Convery 

The 8-episodes series written/executive produced by Mary Leah Sutton, with producers also including Robert Kulzer, Oliver Berben, and Martin Moszkowicz of Constantin Film.

You know video game adaptations are hot when even Golden Axe is making the leap to the screen. And indeed it is, with Deadline reporting that the Sega Genesis video game franchise that debuted back in 1989 is getting an animated series at Comedy Central.

Comedy Central has given “Golden Axe” a 10-episode order, Deadline reports today.

The voice cast for the animated series from CBS Studios in association with Sony Pictures Television and Original Film includes Matthew Rhys (The Americans), Danny Pudi (Mythic Quest), Lisa Gilroy (Jury Duty), Liam McIntyre (Spartacus) and Carl Tart (Grand Crew).

“Described as a hilarious and loving homage to Sega’s video game series, Golden Axe follows veteran warriors Ax Battler, Tyris Flare and Gilius Thunderhead as they once again battle to save Yuria from the evil giant Death Adder who just won’t seem to stay dead. Fortunately, this time they have the inexperienced and underprepared Hampton Squib on their side.”

Mike McMahan (Star Trek: Lower Decks) and Joe Chandler (American Dad!) will co-write the first episode and executive produce the series, with Chandler serving as showrunner.

The original Golden Axe video game was released in 1989, followed by sequels in 1991, 1992 and 1993. The series got a modern day upgrade with Golden Axe: Beast Rider in 2008.
