Considering the mixed reaction to Netflix Resident Evil, many are wondering if it will get a season 2 release date. The service is known for putting even popular series on the hack block, and cancellation is a threat even for shows with a large following. We’ll take a look at the show’s opportunities for a second season below.
Will there be a Netflix Resident Evil Season 2 or is it canceled?
So far, Netflix has not announced a release date for Resident Evil Season 2. While the series ended on kliffhanger, it’s not uncommon for Netflix to cancel one of its original series without an ending.

For example, the second season of Cowboy Bebop was in pre-production when Netflix canceled it three weeks after its premiere.
Unfortunately, Netflix is terribly mismanaged and has no idea which of its original series will do well. It will spend millions on critically acclaimed productions like Resident Evil and Cowboy Bebop while allowing shows with huge fans like Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure to weaken with little publicity.
Considering the almost universally bad reaction from audiences to Resident Evil, I would be shocked if it got a second season. The only good thing that can come from it is that Capcom is finally taking back Constantin’s license and allowing someone competent to give a shot to adapt the franchise to film or television.
Are there any Season 2 leaks
A draft script for the first episode of Resident Evil leaked last year. According to those who saw them, very little changed between them and the final version. This may interest you : New on Netflix: An Advertising-Supported Level. However, nothing about a possible second season has yet leaked.
Netflix’s reputation for canceling its original series likely forced the service to take a standby approach before making further seasons. Countless millions were probably wasted by putting seasons of shows into pre-production only to cancel them later. So if we get any leaks, it will be after Netflix confirms that a second season is coming.
