Resident Evil[a] is an American biopunk[1] action horror television series developed by Andrew Dabb for Netflix.

The series features an ensemble cast led by Lance Reddick as the clones of Albert Wesker, Ella Balinska and Adeline Rudolph as Wesker's children, Tamara Smart and Siena Agudong as the daughters' younger selves, Paola Núñez as James Marcus's daughter Evelyn, and Ahad Raza Mir as Arjun Batra.

[6] After the 1998 Raccoon City outbreak, the Umbrella Corporation faced public scandal and a significant drop in stock prices, but was able to recover from the disaster under the guidance of its CEO Evelyn Marcus; daughter of the late Umbrella co-founder James Marcus, in the hopes of regaining trust and the truth surrounding the incident was buried.

Albert Wesker, a former Umbrella employee turned bio-terrorist, planned to trigger the extinction of humanity until he was killed by the BSAA in 2009.

[7][8] In 2022, 14-year-old fraternal twins Billie and Jade, were conceived through suspicious circumstances by Wesker's clone, Al. Their lives take a dramatic turn when Al is awarded an executive position at the struggling Umbrella Corporation that once employed him, and they move to Umbrella's planned community, New Raccoon City in South Africa.

The most powerful organization left on Earth is the Umbrella Corporation, backed by its military arsenal, who are conducting a global manhunt for Jade.

She and Jade gain entry to document the animals and inadvertently release Cerberus, an undead mutant doberman.

Jade talks to fellow student Simon about getting more notes from Angel after class, but an unexpected update to Umbrella's firewall means that cannot happen until he learns the code.

Solving riddles around Wesker's house, Jade finds a hidden bag containing US$10,000, fake US passports and a gun.

He reveals the girls were born in the UCSF School of Medicine in San Francisco, using two women's eggs.

The dog that bit Billie was infected with T-virus, which causes mutations; she is resistant to the virus, as the girls were genetically modified to excel in mental and physical performances.

At school, Billie and Jade are talking with Simon when Bert arrives, in a stolen car, to pick them up.

[16] It was also revealed that Andrew Dabb would write the series, in addition to him serving as an executive producer and showrunner.

[16] Production was originally set to take place from June to October 2020, to be handled by Moonlighting Films, which previously worked on Resident Evil: The Final Chapter.

[17] Over 2020 the series went through retooling, with the promotion of Jeffrey Howard as co-Executive Producer in place of Dabb who was busy overseeing Grendel.

[4] Pakistani actor Ahad Raza Mir joined the cast for the role of Arjun Batra.

[21] Similarly, an early copy of the first episode's script was published on the Internet Archive before being taken down in a copyright complaint.

In attendance, Dabb described the original universe of the show as featuring the video games as their backstory and basis.

The website's critics consensus reads, "While Resident Evil comes closer than previous adaptations to honoring the beloved video games' labyrinthine lore, this zombie serial could still use more brains.
