‘Resident Evil’ Movies in Order: How to Watch & Where the 2026 Reboot Fits

The Resident Evil franchise is back in theaters and you might be wondering where to start with its growing list of movies!
With Zach Cregger‘s new film starring Austin Abrams now playing in theaters as of September 18, it’s a good time to revisit the adaptations that brought the video game series to the big screen, starting with Paul W. S. Anderson‘s 2002 film.
Milla Jovovich‘s Alice leads the original six-film series, which takes place in a different continuity than the newest addition. The franchise then started over with Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City in 2021.
To make your watch list easier, we’ve organized the live-action movies by release date and explained how each one fits into the franchise. This list does not include the animated films and shows.
No, the new film is a separate reboot and earlier films are optional background.
Find out if the 2026 movie has a post-credits scene!
