Resident Evil the TV series!

Horror franchise “Resident Evil” is getting the series treatment, courtesy Netflix, says Deadline.

The scripted series, which will be produced by Constantin Film, will reportedly “expand the Resident Evil universe and deepen the exiting mythology.”

Adds the site, “The drama series will explore the dark inner workings of the Umbrella Corporation and the new world order caused by the outbreak of the T-virus. While the project is in early stages, the series is expected to incorporate all of Resident Evil’s signature elements, including action sequences and “easter eggs.””

The “Resident Evil” film film series, which kicked off with Paul W.S Anderson’s 2002 film, consists of six films to date. In recent weeks, Constantin Film announced they’d also be resurrecting the film franchise, hiring Johannes Roberts (”The Strangers: Prey at Night”) to helm the next film – said to be a reboot – in the series.
