New Resident Evil Animated Series, Infinite Darkness, For Netflix Revealed

Netflix confirmed earlier this year that a Resident Evil series was in the works, though little was revealed at that time. Then, we discovered that another live-action adaptation is in the works, and now we've got our first look at another new entry into this longstanding franchise, this time with a new animated series called Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness. 

Infinite Darkness showcases the red-clad Claire Redfield once more entering yet another creepy location. It is there that she stumbles upon a person who has committed suicide.

So now we've got a new live-action take, as we've had before, and new animated series on the horizon. Both adaptations are without a release date but are slated for a 2021 launch.
