Resident Evil, the most recognizable series centered around zombies and the way they change the lives of those terrorized by this infection, is back with a new battle for survival. And thanks to a teaser trailer from Netflix we have the first real look at what’s to come for the main characters Jade and Billie; two sisters who have been forever changed by the apocalypse that has overtaken the world.
In the teaser trailer, we get glimpses of life for Jade and Billie in New Raccoon City. Everything is ideal, safe, and peaceful with a hidden underbelly that shows that life isn’t what it seems. Flash forward 14 years and the world is a mere shadow of itself; full of zombies, monsters, and our favorite…zombie dogs. And it’s all thanks to the Umbrella Corporation and their invention of Joy; a drug that basically destroyed our way of life.

Here’s Netflix’s official summary of Resident Evil, which we’re excited about:
Year 2036 – 14 years after Joy caused so much pain, Jade Wesker fights for survival in a world overrun by the blood-thirsty infected and mind-shattering creatures. In this absolute carnage, Jade is haunted by her past in New Raccoon City, by her father’s chilling connections to the sinister Umbrella Corporation but mostly by what happened to her sister, Billie.
Premiering July 14, 2022, it will have an 8-episode run, with no confirmation on another season. Yet. Which is to be expected. It also will star Lance Reddick as Albert Wesker, Ella Balinska, Tamara Smart, Siena Agudong, Adeline Rudolph, and Paola Nuñez. It will be produced by Constantin Film, which produced the Resident Evil films themselves.
Resident Evil premieres on July 14, 2022 on Netflix.
