I hope fans enjoy the 2 seasons they're going to get.

Just what the world needs, more Democrat-themed TV shows 🙄

I’m ready for Leon omg

GTA this, Resident Evil that...whatever happened to the Bible

i smell a flop

its coming to hbo max ....... or not

KenSorrell YESH!

Silver_ACS 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

Oh shit

Did no one learn anything from the movies!? People want a movie based on the game, not inspired by.... Now I gotta wait another x amount of years for that 🤦‍♀️

Made by the same people who made the movies...

Wesker doesn't even have fucking daughters. He has one son named Jake Muller. So it's gonna be based off non game canon OCs. Boring. Not even gonna bother. Netflix ruins everything it touches anyways.

Hopefully they don't fuck it up. RE is my favorite franchise.

i will pass on this one. smh.

Why is it so hard to just use the foundation of the games’ storyline? I mean George Romero’s script had Chris and Jill. Chris was a hermit in the woods and Jill was leader of STARS if I remember. Plus a Tyrant. WHY CANT THEY FILM THAT?!

ReWriteResidentEvil NotMyResidentEvil

And its fucking terrible

I have little faith...but a part of me wants to see it happen...

ZurjjMedia

Anyone else wish they'd just do a series based on the game and give us a GOOD season of a creepy mansion with zombies?

It’s Netflix but I still have some high expectations

HydreigonDR

and officially smell like shit

So disappointed by this plot.

Yay!!! We’ll get two or three seasons and then they’ll cancel it...🙄

Resident Evil should be trending with Jacob Wohl

This can be either really good or really bad

'Resident Evil is my favorite game of all time,' Dabb said. ' Then adapt it. So just Resident Evil in name only 👋👍

uh oh. rip

I would be more excited but with netflix track record for canceling shows after one or 2 seasons I think imma just skip this one

How is netflix going to fuck this up?

Well I can not wait for this!!

sdru1971vt2 Whoop whoop🙌🙌🙌

They should make Resi Evil 4 an actual movie, as in frame by frame....

That's GOING to be so good!!!

Why? So netflix can cancel it after the first or second season?

Can’t wait for it to be cancelled after it’s first season like every other show on Netflix

Loved this script. Congrats!!

If Sinji Mikami direct episodes it will bring success...

I’m officially a go throw up

Vonstrangely This worries me.

Oh god

The series about his daughters... No thanks. Why was it so hard to give has Jill and Chris and the rest of S.T.A.R.S.?

This 💩 has the potential to be fire 🔥 🔥

¿Para que luego la cancele después de un par de temporadas? ¿Siguiendo con su modelo de negocio de tener series cortas sin finales cerrados y así atraer a más suscriptores?

Snap, the new ‘Resident Evil’ is a fictional TV show? I thought it was docuseries that followed the current resident of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

This sounds like a lot of fun! I love the separate timelines idea. Can't wait.

You mean I still have to wait!!

Hmmmm....hmmmmmmm....should be trash. TWD pretty much exausted any desire for another zombie series. Also, stop adapting video games into TV series lol, they're all bad or meh.

I'm not clapping, I'm high fiving myself whoop whoop

WatchMojo Please stick to the source, please 🙏

It turns out the actual Resident Evil in our homes was Netflix poorly adapting projects.

WatchMojo Lemme guess, they'll all be gay, trans, black, different ethnicities and completely ignore the sources.. IT'S OKAY TO BE STRAIGHT TOO!

WatchMojo Nice should be a good couple season before they get the axe!! Lol

RoseCityCC For 2 seasons...

Msha3elM

Are you fucking kidding me?

Ooh!

Is it still gonna be matrix styled?

We'll see...

BrianKemm better be in that damn writer's room!!

Is it a show about the Trump family living in the White House?

Se o MFWThe não dublar eu nem assisto

Wonder if it will be better than the movie

Y’all ready for 2 quick seasons?!
