While there is no indication that the Resident Evil series will be entitled to a second season on Netflix – especially after the many criticisms it has been the subject of since its release – Andrew Dabb told our colleagues from Polygon that he had some leads. if the green light was given. And one of them would be to bring back iconic characters from the saga. “The question that arises is how people change, said the director. There are characters that we have not seen for a while such as Jill Valentine and Claire Redfield. How would they react to all these events?
According to him, the fact that the series takes place in two different eras would provide some leeway. "The most interesting question is what happens 14, 15, 16 years later when the catastrophe that they tried to avoid has taken place, he underlined. These characters have spent their lives fighting this epidemic. What happens when you finally lose? What does the world look like?" No doubt to put the fans in the pocket - which seems badly embarked - Andrew Dabb does not forbid anything. "Throughout this series, I want to cast a wide net. If it were up to me, I would like to integrate Lady Dimitrescu [appeared for the first time in Resident Evil Village, ndlr], Plant 43, everything. You just have to let it be done wisely,” he explained.
It remains to be seen whether Netflix will give him the opportunity, some voices - they are not many - having nevertheless appreciated the series.
