This time, the plot will return to the origins. Place of action — Raccoon City, time — 1998. Here comes the cast:

Meanwhile, Netflix is preparing two Resident Evil TV series at once — an animated series called Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness and a live-action series simply called Resident Evil. Infinite Darkness will be released in 2021.
