Netflix\u2019s Resident Evil<\/em> series has been canceled a little over a month after its initial debut, according to a report from Deadline<\/em><\/a>. The streamer reportedly decided against renewing the series due to lackluster ratings and viewership.<\/p>\n

Like the many other Resident Evil<\/em> adaptations, Netflix\u2019s live-action series attempts to put yet another spin on the video game franchise it\u2019s based on. The show, which was helmed by Supernatural<\/em>\u2019s Andrew Dabb, flashes between two different timelines, centering around Umbrella executive Albert Wesker (Lance Reddick) and his two daughters (played by Tamara Smart and Siena Agudong). <\/p>\n

In our review of the series<\/a>, my colleague Charles Pulliam-Moore notes that it \u201ckeeps things feeling fresh up to a point,\u201d but it\u2019s dragged down by a \u201cpredictable plot that ultimately suffers from being such a late entry in the modern-day zombie craze.\u201d Resident Evil<\/em> made Netflix\u2019s top 10 list<\/a> of its most-watched shows the week it debuted and the two weeks that followed, but largely fell off the map after that. It also doesn\u2019t help that it premiered only a couple of months after the season four debut of Stranger Things<\/em><\/a>, which potentially stole some of Resident Evil<\/em>\u2019s spotlight.<\/p>\n

In addition to its live-action adaptation, Netflix also has an animated four-part series Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness <\/em>that it released last year. The series focuses heavily on the lore of the Resident Evil<\/em> franchise<\/a> and was also met with mixed reviews<\/a>. Even if Netflix\u2019s live-action Resident Evil<\/em> wasn\u2019t quite the hit it intended, the streamer has several other video game adaptations on tap, including ones based on Horizon Zero Dawn<\/em><\/a>, Tomb Raider<\/em><\/a>, Far Cry<\/em><\/a>, and Bioshock<\/em><\/a>. Netflix already has an anime based on Castlevania<\/em><\/a> and recently debuted an animated adaptation of Tekken<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
