Another trailer for the live-action Resident Evil series from Netflix is out, and it’s our more in-depth look yet.
In the trailer, we can see several classic monsters from the games like Lickers, giant tarantulas, zombie dogs, and what is presumably Tyrant. There’s no real confirmation on that last one, but it’s high time that the original Resident Evil‘s final boss made it on the big screen. There may have been one in Resident Evil: Extinction, but I’ve mostly erased the Paul W.S. Anderson films from my memory. It’s bad.
Check out the latest Resident Evil trailer for yourself below. Something about Lance Reddick uttering “T-Virus” aloud is deeply funny.
The world ended a long time ago…

Well, better than those last two trailers at any rate. Netflix’s Resident Evil premieres on July 14, 2022.
The story for Netflix’s eight-episode show is bizarre. It’ll feature two timelines, one featuring Billie and Jade Wesker arriving in New Raccoon City before the apocalypse. Those two are the children of Resident Evil’s iconic villain Albert Wesker, for those of you wondering. The second timeline takes place 15 years into the future when most of humanity is long gone.
This show is canon with the games, and if you know Resident Evil’s overarching narrative, that is a wild thought. For example, the last time we saw Albert Wesker, he was chest-high in molten lava while taking two rockets to the face. I have to know how the show will acknowledge that nonsense.
If this is off putting, remember that the Resident Evil 4 remake is real and looks excellent.
