Tamara Smart, Siena Agudong & Connor Gosatti Interview: Resident Evil
WARNING: MAJOR spoilers for Resident Evil season 1.
Netflix's new Resident Evil show takes place over two timelines, one in 2022 and one in 2036 after the T-Virus has ravaged the world. In the 2022 timeline, Jade and Billie Wesker, the young twin daughters of Albert Wesker (Lance Reddick) move to New Raccoon City in South Africa, a seemingly utopian company town where Umbrella's headquarters are located. There, they meet Simon and, while both have trouble with the transition to a new school, they are also presented with some much bigger problems.
As Jade and Billie dig into their father's mysterious past and Umbrella's own shady dealings with the help of Simon, they end up uncovering much more than they ever bargained for. After Billie gets bit by a zombie dog, the trio must manage what seems to be an impending infection all the while uncovering a massive conspiracy that threatens to end the world.
