Who’s in the Resident Evil cast on Netflix?

Resident Evil has confirmed that Lance Reddick will be appearing as Albert Wesker, one of the main characters in the original video game series. He is joined by Tamara Smart and Ella Balinska, who play younger and older versions of Wesker’s daughter Jade.

Adeline Rudolph, Sienna Agdon, Paola Nunez, Ahad Raza Mir, Conor Gosatti and Taro Conbery complete the cast in roles that have yet to be revealed. Meanwhile, Supernatural writer Andrew Dove will serve as showrunner, while The Walking Dead director Bronwen Hughes will produce and direct his first two episodes.

Resident Evil’s first season will consist of his eight episodes, each about an hour long. Dabb says: We are very excited to tell this new chapter in this great story and bring the first Resident Evil series to his Netflix members around the world.

“For all types of Resident Evil fans, including Resident Evil newcomers, the series will be complete with many old friends and things people have never seen before (gory and crazy).”

What is Netflix’s Resident Evil live-action series about?

In another departure from the original video game, Netflix Resident Evil seems to mix the horror franchise with another sci-fi favorite, Stranger Things.
Netflix’s official description reads, “When Wesker’s children move into the new Raccoon City, the mystery they uncover could all come to an end. The plot of the series spans two different timelines, in the first, 14-year-old sisters Jade and Billy Wesker move into a new house.
They soon discover that the seemingly harmless town is more than meets the eye and that their father is hiding a dark secret that puts life on Earth in grave danger. Skip to the second timeline to follow Jade at 30 as she struggles to survive in a world of only 15 million people left. Her remaining six billion have been transformed into terrifying monstrosities by her T-Virus, and are being put to a daunting test of survival by Jade’s own personal demons.
Of course, fans of the Resident Evil game will recognize the surname of Albert Wesker, a recurring villain from throughout the franchise associated with the sinister Umbrella Corporation. It’s entirely possible that the small town of New Raccoon City sits above the Umbrella Research Facility and is the epicenter of the zombie outbreak.
