Resident Evil is getting the Netflix treatment!

A scripted live-action series based on the long-running Capcom video game franchise is coming to Netflix, THR reported Thursday (August 27).

“Following months of development and an extensive search for a showrunner, Netflix has officially ordered eight episodes of a Resident Evil TV series. Supernatural co-showrunner Andrew Dabb oversee the series for Netflix and producers Constantin Film,” the outlet reports.

“Resident Evil is my favorite game of all time. I’m incredibly excited to tell a new chapter in this amazing story and bring the first-ever Resident Evil series to Netflix members around the world. For every type of Resident Evil fan, including those joining us for the first time, the series will be complete with a lot of old friends, and some things (bloodthirsty, insane things) people have never seen before,” Andrew said.

Here’s a plot summary: “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.”

Another video game franchise is also getting the TV treatment!

Netflix is in development on a Resident Evil series!

The series will be based on the video game series, which was the inspiration for a movie franchise that spawned six movies and grossed over $1.2 billion worldwide.

The new series, which will be a Netflix global original, “will explore the dark inner workings of the Umbrella Corporation and the new world order caused by the outbreak of the T-virus,” according to Deadline.

Milla Jovovich starred in the film series, which wrapped in 2016, but there’s no indication that she will be involved in the Netflix series.

Milla Jovovich‘s new movie Resident Evil: The Final Chapter is making a massive amount of money during its opening weekend in China!

The film was released in the U.S. a month ago and didn’t do too well at the box office, but the studio clearly made this film for its international fans as it’s doing amazing business around the world.

The Final Chapter, which also stars Ali Larter, has already earned $140 million worldwide and now it can add $70 million from its first two days in release in China, according to Deadline.

The movie grossed $33 million on its first day in theaters in China, which amounted to the third-highest opening day of all time in the country.

Thanks to the success overseas, it looks like Resident Evil: The Final Chapter might not actually be the final chapter in the franchise!

Milla Jovovich has confirmed that her anticipated film Resident Evil: The Final Chapter is indeed the final film in the Resident Evil franchise.
