Resident Evil is a Netflix Original that is based on the same-named Capcom game and was made by Andrew Dabb. All of the Resident Evil movies have been made by Constantin Film and Moonlighting Films. In New Raccoon City, where the first season of Resident Evil takes place, Albert Wesker lives with his daughters Jade and Billie. The catch is that years later, they find out that the world is infected with a t-virus that makes monsters and zombies mutate and roam around. This sends Jade Wesker on a trip around the world to find a cure.
The 2022 Resident Evil TV show is a good example of how not every successful video game franchise can be ended up turning into a successful live-action show. People may have seen the Milla Jovovich-led Resident Evil movies, which have done well in the past. However, the plan to create the same tension and horror in a Netflix series went horribly wrong. Resident Evil, which took place in New Raccoon City, which happened to be the center of the famous T-Virus outbreak, did not do well with critics or audiences.
Will there be a second season of Resident Evil?
As of the most recent update on Saturday, August 27, 2022, Resident Evil season 2 has been canceled. The news was shared by Nellie Andreeva of Deadline on behalf of Netflix. Even so, the show will continue to appear on many top ten lists around the world because of how popular it is and how long it has been around.
In terms of how many people watched, the first weekend of Resident Evil helped it get 72 million hours of viewing time in the first three days. In the second week, it had 73 million hours, which put it at number two. The third week could be seen as the last chance for the show since the number of viewers started to drop and reached a sad 63% drop.
Why was Resident Evil season 2 canceled?
Deadline said in August 2022 that Resident Evil would end after only one season. Shortly after that, Lance Reddick, who plays the cloned version of franchise villain Albert Wesker, posted a thank-you note on Instagram. “By now, everyone knows that our Netflix show Resident Evil has been canceled,” he wrote. “Despite the haters and trolls, I want to thank all the fans who watched the show, understood what we were doing, and really liked it. There are a lot of you.”
Resident Evil didn’t impress critics when it came out in July. On Rotten Tomatoes, critics gave it a score of 55%, and viewers gave it a much lower score of 26%. No matter what, it did well in the Netflix Top 10s around the world. In Ukraine, it stayed on the most-watched list for 33 days before it was taken off. It went on for 21 days in the UK and 19 days in the US.
Summary of Resident Evil Season 1
In 2022, a giant, clawed, and mutated T-Virus victim named a “Tyrant” was seen breaking out of the Umbrella lab that had been destroyed. As Bert, Billie, and Jade look for Ada Wong, a spy who ended up working against the Umbrella Corporation in the Resident Evil games, there will probably be some chaos.
We will probably also learn more about how Billie and Jade split up, since the way they were when we last saw them in season 1 doesn’t match how they are in 2036. Evelyn or someone else will probably try to get Billie to become radical and join Umbrella. Since they broke up while Jade was carrying Bea, there will probably be a jump in time at some point. We hope Bert lives long enough to find a place where he can eat as many breadsticks as he wants.
In 2036, the story is simple. Jade needs to find Bea, and Arjun might be able to help her. Billie is probably doing all kinds of research on the girl, after witnessing the giant T-Virus-mutated alligator ignore the child. Jade and her team now know a little more about the best way to stop the T-Virus because they found something helpful in her DNA. Her spit was used to make the repellent, and the croc didn’t come near Bea.
What happens in Season 2 of Resident Evil?
Since there won’t be a second season, we also don’t know anything about what will happen in it. The first season told the story of Billie and Jade, teenage twins who are Dr. Albert Wesker’s children and who live in New Raccoon City, which is run by the infamous Umbrella Corporation. Soon, the twins find out the dark facts behind the corporation’s facade. They also see the T-Virus, a retroviral bioweapon that reduced the world’s population from 7 billion to 300 million in 14 years. But now the Umbrella corporation is looking for Jade for some reason, and it will be a fight to the death among billions of infected humans who will eat each other.
