RESIDENT Evil fans will be pleased to hear a new TV series based on the video game franchise is coming to Netflix.<\/p>\n
The streaming platform has revealed some details about the live-action adaptation.<\/p>\n
The @NXOnNetflix account tweeted: \"When the Wesker kids move to New Raccoon City, the secrets they uncover might just be the end of everything. <\/p>\n
\"Resident Evil, a new live action series based on Capcoms legendary survival horror franchise, is coming to Netflix.\"<\/p>\n
For those who don't know, the Wesker kids referred to are the daughters of the main villain from the first five video games.<\/p>\n
He's known as Albert Wesker.<\/p>\n

Netflix added: \"The 8 x 1 hour episode season will be helmed by Andrew Dabb (Supernatural), Bronwen Hughes (The Walking Dead, The Journey Is the Destination) will direct the first two episodes.\"<\/p>\n
The first episode will be called \"Welcome to Raccoon City\".<\/p>\n
According to Deadline, the series will feature two timelines.<\/p>\n
The first timeline will reportedly focus on the two fourteen year Wesker sisters who move into a manufactured, corporate town.<\/p>\n
This is where they learn a potentially world destroying secret.<\/p>\n
The second timeline will apparently feature a virus stricken world with a dwindling human population, where the sisters are separated.<\/p>\n
With Resident Evil fans already tweeting excitedly, it is possible that the series could become as popular as Stranger Things.<\/p>\n
We don't have a date for when the series will air but seeing as the first episode is written, we can hope they'll start filming soon.<\/p>\n
