The showrunner for the Resident Evil series that airs on Netflix has revealed that the events that take place at the conclusion of the first season would set the stage for a prominent video game character to make an appearance in a potential second season. Warning: the next paragraphs contain spoilers for the Resident Evil series on Netflix.
The first season concluded with Jade and Billie, who were living in the year 2022, escaping New Raccoon City with a clone of Albert Wesker named “Bert.” Where are they heading? If you believe what is stated on the handwritten note that was provided to Jade, they will be travelling to Japan in order to see a specific Ada Wong, who made her debut in Resident Evil 2. She is a popular character among fans and frequently helps (or hinders) the player while also working toward her own goals in the background of the majority of games.
Showrunner Andrew Dabb has now confirmed that all roads are going to Ada. He told Screen Rant (opens in new tab) that she would “100 per cent” feature in the second season of the show, which has not been confirmed as of the writing of this article. However, it is possible that we won’t have to wait too much longer until we hear about a Resi renewal. In spite of being one of Netflix’s video game adaptations that have garnered the least positive reception to this point, the series has dethroned Stranger Things season 4 and is presently enjoying a comfortable position at the top of the streaming service’s rankings.
Resident Evil has, for the most part, completely avoided making any significant connections to the original source material. However, it has provided an explanation for how Wesker was able to escape the events that transpired in Resident Evil 5. To be more specific, he did not; rather, one of Wesker’s clones took his place. Naturally.
