While the franchise was once remembered for the Milla Jovovich-led movies that threw Capcom’s games out the window, 2022 has announced two entries for the Resiverse thanks to the underwhelming Welcome to Racoon City movie and the unrelated eight-part Netflix series.
Dabb’s show is one faithful adaptation of the source material, which serves as a continuation of the games that take place after Resident Evil Village – although sadly there’s no cameo from the infamous Lady Dumitrescu.
The (literally) explosive closure saw clones, crocodiles and victims galore. What did you miss? Here’s how the Resident Evil ending ties into season two.
The final, which was split between 2022 and 2036, focusing on Billie and Jade Wesker in their teens and adult years. In 2022, Jade is helped by Simon Marcus as they storm the Umbrella HQ in New Raccoon City in an attempt to rescue Billie.
Albert Wesker and Bert, his clone, are also present. Fans wondered how Wesker survived his iconic volcano death in Resident Evil 5, but it turns out that before the original Wesker died, he three clones in the Arklay Mountains.
The Wesker we follow in the series is a strangely lovable clone, Bert is a bit insane and Alby was killed in 2005.
Billie bites Simon in a fit of rage after succumbing to her zombie dog bite and the T-Virus adapts to her body. The mean but brilliant Evelyn Marcus arrives at the scene and realizes her son is infected and put a bullet in his head to save him from the horrors of turning into a “Zero”.

The episode summary
So if the writing on this show was bad, it was awarded a moldy icing on the cake: a cliffhanger ending that resolves nothing. This story is so far from Resident Evil that it is sometimes unbelievable.
There’s just enough nostalgia to keep fans of the games interested, but it’s poorly integrated into a story that can’t decide what kind of show it wants to be.
There’s clearly a push/pull in the writing room between those who want to implement parts of the games and those who don’t. Finally we get this strange double timeline affair with no crossover (yet) and essentially played as two storylines in one – neither of which are particularly interesting.
Most of this show has been consumed by teen dramaand there hasn’t even been a zombie outbreak since Billie is clearly Patient Zero alongside her twin sister.
This story would have been fine under a name other than Resident Evil, but the writers built it up poorly with shoddy worldbuilding and events that have no rhyme or reason. We get one little backstory covering 1998 and the original Raccoon City, as well as some familiar character names, but that’s about it in terms of similarities.
Instead, Resident Evil is the latest in a long line of IPs out there twisted and stripped from their core premise to the point where they are unrecognizable.

This is a bad show with bad writing, bad characters, and a poor understanding of what made Resident Evil great in the first place. This one is a flop and I doubt it will be renewed for a second season.
