Resident Evil Season 2 in Development at Netflix

The long-awaited Resident Evil series premiered on Netflix on July 14, and some are already wondering whether or not the Lance Reddick and Ella Balinska-starring series would get a second season. Today we’ll try and bring more clarity to the matter.

Writing has begun for Resident Evil Season 2

We have learned from our sources that writing is underway for the second season of Netflix’s Resident Evil with most of the first season’s writing team returning.

This means, if renewed by Netflix, filming for the second season could start perhaps in late 2022 or early 2023, with possibly a late 2023 or early 2024 target release date, but it’s way too soon to talk about that. There’s still the question of renewal.

Will Resident Evil be renewed or cancelled by Netflix?

Although the next installment is being written, it’s future is still unclear. Just because Season 2 is in development, doesn’t make it exempt from cancellation, especially knowing Netflix. To add to that, the response from the viewers has been very mixed, so the streamer will certainly take that into account as well when making a decision to renew or cancel.

Moreover, Netflix has been known to cancel series that have been well into the development of their next seasons. Series like The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance, The Irregulars and more.

On the other hand, if Season 2 is already being written, the creators must have had the green light from Netflix to start writing prior to the release, otherwise they would have been told not to bother. So if Netflix has a change of heart on this matter, it would have been after the release and reviewing the first season’s performance.

What do you think of Netflix’s take on the Resident Evil franchise? A worthy successor to Paul W. S. Anderson’s movies and last year’s Welcome to Raccoon City?

Nevertheless, there’s also our main focus, which is Netflix’s The Witcher, so if you’re interested in news regarding the Henry Cavill series, do check out our main page.

An unexpected character is returning to The Witcher Season 2

Image
It’s been a busy week for Netflix’s The Witcher . We reported about a curious action scene being filmed at Kaer Morhen involving Henry Cavill’s Geralt, Freya Allan’s Ciri along with many new witchers and we followed that up with a report about a number of female characters involved in that storyline as well. Today we have something that surprised us a fair bit. Redanian Intelligence has learned that Danica , played by Imogen Daines , will return to the second season of The Witcher and will appear in one of its first episodes directed by Stephen Surjik. To remind you, Danica is the sex worker who Geralt is with in the beginning of the third episode of the first season and she’s examining the monster slayer’s scars. Imogen Daines as Danica with Henry Cavill as Geralt in The Witcher S01E03 The return of such a minor character is quite unexpected and it’s unclear how Danica would fit in any of the storylines of Season 2. To put the timeline into context, the scene we saw in the ser...

Henry Cavill Injury Doesn't Affect Production

Image
By now you've likely heard that Henry Cavill has injured himself during a shoot for The WItcher. United Kingdom media giant The Sun , reported the news first on Cavill's injury. A source close to the show had this to say regarding the injury, "He just suddenly pulled up and was clearly in a lot of pain. It wasn’t clear if an object had hit his leg or it was some sort of hamstring or muscle injury." This took place while Henry was suspended 20 feet in the air for a major scene. While the title of The Sun's article alludes to the production schedule going into chaos, Deadline.com has now also shared the news but notes that any impact to production is not heavily felt due to the coming holiday shut down. It would seem if Cavill had to sustain any injury, this is a perfect time for the show to absorb it. What do you think of the injury news? Let us know in the comments below or in our forum !

Everyone is eagerly waiting for The Witcher Season 2 on December 17, but the work on the next season doesn’t stay still and the scripts are being written as we speak. If you recall, Season 3 of The Witcher will have a number of new writers who started their work this July. We were wondering when filming for the next season would begin and now we have a window. Thanks to the newest listing on Production Weekly, we now know that Season 3 of The Witcher is planned to enter production in the first quarter of 2022 . But bear in mind that production schedules are never solid and are always subject to change, especially in a post-covid world. Nevertheless, at least now we approximately know the production window and when Netflix wants to get things underway. Contact info blacked out for privacy reasons . Also disregard the locations and directors. That is old info. Season 3 will also have a significant change: instead of Arborfield Studios, production will move to Longcross Studios, w...
