news culture Resident Evil: Umbrella promises joy and terror in the next Netflix series

After the movies, Resident Evil becomes a live action series

Will Netflix disappoint us again? It must be said that the series Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness did not really meet the expectations of spectators and fans of the Capcom universe, and this is largely part of platform failures in 2021. In 2022, the American SVOD giant is therefore playing big by moving from computer-generated images to live action. Last March, Netflix already gave us a first look at the series by sharing information on the cast and the synopsis, in addition to some visuals.

But yesterday, all this became a little more concrete thanks to a first trailer, announced the day before, which allowed us to discover the environments of New Raccoon City, the fullness of which will quickly give way to a series of nightmares escaped from the Umbrella Corporation laboratories. Beyond that, we discovered Albert Westeras Lance Reddick (TheWire, John Wick…), and his daughter, Jadebefore the situation of the year 2022 degenerates into a zombie apocalypse whose London remains will be discovered in 2036.

Joy, zombies and lots of blood

Or rather Joy, a miraculous tablet increasing concentration and acting as both an antidepressant and a treatment for obsessive-compulsive disorder and anxiety. But behind this revolutionary pill, there is a catch: it contains the T virus, the one at the very origin of the horrible zombies of the license.

Looking at the state of the world in 2036, it seems that a large part of humanity has taken this drug as if it were a handful of candy and has turned into a horde of monsters. . However, the epidemic was not limited to humans, and this new trailer (available at the top of the article) reveals to us creatures more horrible than each otherfrom the rabid and emaciated dog to the zombie with sharp teeth, passing by a giant earthworm ready to swallow everything in its path. All that remains is to wait until July 14 to discover how the world has gone from joy to nightmare!
