Resident Evil Season 1 Actor Addresses Character's Finale Death
Warning! Spoilers for Resident Evil season 1
Connor Gosatti, who plays Simon Marcus in the new Netflix adaptation of Resident Evil, talks about his character's shocking death in the season 1 finale. Along with Gosatti, the series stars Lance Reddick, Ella Balinska, Tamara Smart, Adeline Rudolph, Siena Agudong, and Paola Núñez. Netflix dropped Resident Evil's eight-episode season 1 on July 14, having kept a press embargo during most of the video game show's production.
Resident Evil follows two timelines. One tracks the creation of the T-virus, while the other focuses on the last remnants of humanity after the virus has destroyed civilization. In the former timeline, half-twins Jade (Smart) and Billie (Agudong) investigate the Umbrella Corporation with the help of Simon (Gosatti.) The Resident Evil season 1 finale sees Simon infected with the T-virus and killed by his mother Evelyn (Nunez), suggesting it is what drives the twins apart in the latter timeline to be explored in Resident Evil season 2, should Netflix give it the greenlight.
