‘Resident Evil’ Canceled After Single Season on Netflix

Netflix has pulled the plug on a live-action adaptation of Capcom’s iconic video game franchise, Resident Evil. The series was released a year after the much-criticized film by Sony titled Resident Evil: Welcome to Racoon City, but was unfortunately panned by fans and critics alike. Netflix decided to cancel the series just six weeks after it premiered on the streaming service. The games on the other hand have found a new lease of life, thanks to the recent remakes of franchise classics such as Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3, as well as new games such as Resident Evil Village and the upcoming remake of Resident Evil 4.
