It’s a veritable bonanza of Resident Evil<\/em> Netflix news this weekend. Yesterday’s NetflixGeeked Week event not only offered us the first few minutes of upcoming CGI show Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness<\/em>, but Netflix also took the time to tease the cast<\/a> of its new, live-action series set within Capcom’s survival horror universe. Nifty.<\/p>

A cast photo features actors Siena Agudong, Ella Balinska, Paola Nunez, Lance Reddick, Adeline Rudolph, and finally Tamara Smart. Netflix remains tight-lipped in regards to the show’s plot, timeline, or release date \u2014 though it did reveal that Reddick will be taking up the role of Resident Evil<\/em>‘s notorious antagonist, Albert Wesker. John Wick<\/em> fans will recognize Reddick from his small but impactful turns as Charon, concierge and overseer of New York’s Continental Hotel.<\/p>

The tentatively titled Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City<\/em> will feature a season of eight one-hour episodes, and is expected to focus on the “Wesker kids<\/a>“. It sounds to me like the show is very much going the Riverdale<\/em> route, and will use the Resident Evil<\/em> brand to backdrop a dark social drama. This is purely<\/em> speculation on my part, but I think anyone expecting tons of monsters, jump-scares, and gunfights might be in for a surprise. Either way, we’ll all know the score once the new series arrives on Netflix at some point in the future.<\/p>

Been dying to announce this. Get ready to enter New Raccoon City with the cast of RESIDENT EVIL: LANCE REDDICK \/ ELLA BALINSKA \/ TAMARA SMART \/ SIENA AGUDONG \/ ADELINE RUDOLPH \/ PAOLA NUNEZ. #GeekedWeek<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/ULKEFuYdAr<\/a><\/p>
