Netflix’s “Resident Evil”: Watch Massive Zombie Horde Swarm Humans in New Clip
Netflix’s “Resident Evil” television series will debut globally on Netflix on July 14, 2022, bringing a new evolution and adaptation to the popular video games’ complex storyline. It all began with zombies, and a brand new clip delivers just that, with a stylish twist.
In the video, below, Jade Wesker (Ella Balinska) realizes in horror that she’s unable to leave her current location; it’s surrounded by hordes of infected.
The 8-episodes series was written/executive produced by Mary Leah Sutton, who appears in the featurette to shed some light on the series’ approach to evolving the story from its video game origins. Stars Lance Reddick and Ella Balinska also weigh in on the unpredictable story ahead.
Showrunner Andrew Dabb previously shared that the creative team took “all the games and shuffled them together” for the Netflix series, which plays with various elements fans will recognize.
“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.”
Netflix’s “Resident Evil” is set in: “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.”
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
“Resident Evil” was produced by Robert Kulzer, Oliver Berben, and Martin Moszkowicz of Constantin Film.
The original Capcom Resident Evil was released in 1996, launching an expansive video game and movie franchise that’s still going strong.

“I’m the Grim Reaper” – Sam Raimi Teams with ’10 Cloverfield Lane’ Writers on Gory, Funny Webtoon Adaptation
The Wattpad/Webtoons and Grave Weaver-created series “I’m the Grim Reaper” is nearing its 200th episode, and it’s also getting a new TV series adaptation with talented names behind it. Deadline reports that celebrated filmmaker Sam Raimi is teaming up with 10 Cloverfield Lane scribes Josh Campbell & Matt Stuecken on the new series.
The series follows “Scarlet, a young woman who wakes up in the ninth circle of hell with no idea how she got there. Satan offers to send Scarlet back to Earth if she’ll work as his reaper. But it doesn’t take long for Scarlet to realize that Satan’s offer is even worse than she feared.”
The story is said to fit perfectly into “Raimi’s wheelhouse, striking a deft balance between scares, gore and humor.”
Sam Raimi and Zainab Azizi will executive produce the series with Weaver, who’ll also team on the development process. Raimi may be most known for his Spider-Man and Evil Dead movies, but the filmmaker has been busy behind the scenes producing. More recently, Raimi produced this week’s action brawler Boy Kills World and last year’s 65, with Don’t Move on the way.
The “I’m the Grim Reaper” webtoon launched in 2019, delving into the humor and horrors of reaping souls in Hell. That it’s on the cusp of airing its 200th episode means no shortage of story and mythology for Campbell and Stuecken to pull from.
Stay tuned for additional details on this new series as they arrive.
