It also marks the latest live-action adaptation of the games following Paul W.S. Anderson and Milla Jovovich's six-film franchise and the recent reboot, Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City.
Much like last year's movie reboot, Resident Evil is set within the timeline of the video games, though creates a new story centered on half-twins Jade and Billie as they learn the truth of the Umbrella Corporation's dark secrets and its history with their father, Lance Reddick's Albert Wesker. Alongside the John Wick star, the cast for the series includes Ella Balinska, Adeline Rudolph, Tamara Smart, Siena Agudong and Paola Núñez. Having premiered this week to mixed-to-positive reviews from critics, Resident Evil has left a number of plot threads open for future seasons and the man at the helm has plenty of ideas where it could go.
