Netflix’s Resident Evil series is set to debut globally on on July 14, 2022, and it's now been confirmed that a full trailer will be with us on Monday as Geeked Week gets underway. While we wait, EW has shared a batch of new promo images giving is a look at some of the main characters.
Though it remains to be seen how well this show will adapt the iconic video games, showrunner Andrew Dabb tells the site that the at times "aggressively R-rated" series "feels like they took all the games and shuffled them together."
The full cast of the live-action series was revealed during last year's Geeked Week, with Lance Reddick (John Wick, The Wire, Godzilla Vs. Kong for about 2 seconds) set to play the villainous Albert Wesker, who was introduced in the very first game before going on to become one of the franchise primary antagonists. He'll be joined by Ella Balinska (Charlie's Angels), Tamara Smart (Artemis Fowl), Siena Agudong (No Good Nick), Adeline Rudolph (Chilling Adventures of Sabrina), and Paola Núñez (The Purge) in undisclosed roles.
Check out the new stills at the link below along with the first teaser.
The Netflix series will tell its new story across two timelines. In the first, 14-year-old sisters Jade and Billie Wesker are moved to New Raccoon City. A manufactured, corporate town, forced on them right as adolescence is in full swing. But the more time they spend there, the more they come to realize that the town is more than it seems and their father may be concealing dark secrets. Secrets that could destroy the world.
The second, more than a decade into the future sees less than 15 million people left on Earth. And more than 6 billion monsters — people and animals infected with the T-virus. Jade, now 30, struggles to survive in this new world, while the secrets from her past — about her sister, her father and herself — continue to haunt her.
