2 Resident Evil

The Netflix offering takes an alternative look at the foundations of the zombie outbreak. The series also looks at The Umbrella Corporation's role in the apocalypse via manipulation of the T-Virus. Some ties anchor the 2022 series to the Resident Evil universe; for example, the inclusion of the devil dog Paul W. S. Anderson introduces in the 2002 release. Another tie-in is the introduction of Wesker, who appears in the game series and the novel Resident Evil: The Umbrella Conspiracy by S.D Perry. Otherwise, the series introduces new characters and perspectives, demonstrating the re-imagining differs from the original franchise.
