Resident Evil Showrunner Wants to Bring Lady Dimitrescu to the Netflix Series

Given that the show follows two timelines (one before and one deep into the apocalypse), Dabb said he wants to explore how these video game characters would be different in each storyline, and would even like to include previous game protagonists.
"The question becomes, how do people change? So there are characters we haven’t seen in quite a while: Jill Valentine and Claire Redfield being examples of that. How do they react in the present day to all this stuff happening?," he said.
"An equally interesting question, if not more interesting, is what happens 14 years, 15 years, 16 years in the future, where the thing they were trying to prevent has happened? These characters have spent their lives fighting these outbreaks. What happens when you lose? What does it look like?"
