Resident Evil TV Series In The Works

The reign of terror of Paul Anderson’s 13 year-long slap in the face is almost at an end, the final bowel movement of Paul Anderson’s ‘Resident Evil’ series will pass next year.  Even better news, Resident Evil is getting what looks to be a faithful adaptation in TV series format.

Bloody-Disgusting is reporting that the series will be called Arklay and will be inspired by Fox’s Gotham and the TV series Hannibal.  The series will follow the events of the original game (and possibly Resident Evil: Zero?), where investigations are launched into suspect goings on at a remote mansion outside Raccoon City.

Synopsis: “When Detective James Reinhardt is thrust into a series of bizarre homicides, he unravels the city is hiding a dark conspiracy. Learning a fatal virus is connected to it all, Reinhardt discovers it’s already coursing through him. With time no longer on his side, he must solve the conspiracy to save his own life.“

A pitch reel has been uploaded.  Note, this is not actual footage, but more or less a visual statement of intent.  And it looks fucking good, this is long overdue.  Don’t fuck it up.
