Netflix has hundreds of projects in development and more recently they’ve been leaning into the video game space (as has many other networks and streamers) so let’s take a look at all the video game TV series and movies currently in development/production at Netflix.

Before we look into Netflix’s upcoming offering, let’s take a look at what other streamers are doing:

Amazon Prime has been busy picking up video game licenses including most recently announcing that it would be the streaming service to create a TV series around Bethesda’s Fallout series.

HBO also made a big stride last year with the announcement that The Last of Us would be getting the TV treatment.

But Netflix isn’t standing still in the space and has already produced/acquired a number of video game projects thus far including:

  • Castlevania (confirmed for a future spin-off)
  • Dragon’s Dogma
  • Minecraft: Story Mode
  • Skylanders: Academy
  • The Witcher (originally a book but popularized by the video game franchise)
  • Dragon Quest: Your Story
  • Pokemon series & movies (with more to come)
  • DOTA: Dragon’s Blood (renewed for season 2)
  • Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness

But let’s now take a look into the future and see what video game adaptation projects Netflix currently has in the works:

Type: Live-action TV Series

Created for television by long-time Supernatural producer Andrew Dabb, Resident Evil is an upcoming live-action series based on the Capcom franchise of the same name. Similar to the film series helmed by Paul W. S. Anderson starring Milla Jovovich, Netflix’s Resident Evil doesn’t appear to be based on any one game of Capcom’s long franchise, but will rather have its own story and interpret the world and the characters in its own way.

According to the official synopsis, Resident Evil will take place in two timelines. The first will revolve around Jade and Billie Wesker, the two teenage daughters of the most iconic Resident Evil villain, Albert Wesker. They will find themselves in a manufactured corporate town and will begin questioning their surroundings and their own father. The second timeline will see Jade fifteen years later, when the entire planet is overrun by zombies. Jade, now thirty, struggles to survive in this New World, while the secrets from her past, about her sister, her father, and herself continue to haunt her.

Currently, no production dates for Resident Evil have been revealed, but just before the COVID-19 lockdown, the series was planned to be filmed from June through October 2020. If all goes well, production may begin in early 2021. Read our full summary of everything we know about Resident Evil.
