Back in 2017, the Constantin Film company reported the re-launch of the Resident Evil movie franchise. As Deadline reports, Constantin Film finally shared the details of the upcoming action film.

This time, the plot will return to the origins. Place of action — Raccoon City, time — 1998. Here comes the cast:

Meanwhile, Netflix is preparing two Resident Evil TV series at once — an animated series called Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness and a live-action series simply called Resident Evil. Infinite Darkness will be released in 2021.
