New Resident Evil Trailer Shows More Of The World Before T-Virus
Netflix’s Geeked Week continues with more trailers, teasers, and behind-the-scenes looks at the streaming giant’s upcoming shows.

In the latest trailer, we see Albert Wesker working hard at Umbrella Corp, "a company besieged by scandal" that’s "now trying to reinvent itself."
