RESIDENT EVIL is based on the long-running survival-horror video game franchise of the same name. The series focuses on Albert Wesker (Lance Reddick), one of the main antagonists from the games, and his teen daughters Jade and Billie. The series unfolds in two time periods, 2022 and 2036. The former timeline tells the story of Wesker's mysterious work at the nefarious Umbrella Corporation, and how his daughters become dangerously entangled in it, while the latter finds an older Jade researching -- and surviving -- during a full-on zombie apocalypse. The series features call-outs to characters, creatures, and locations from the games, but generally spins an original tale.
