We need Netflix’s Resident Evil season 2 much like the people of New Raccoon City need a way to stop Umbrella from arming Joy. So, while we wait for Netflix to give us news about the series’ chances of survival, we decided it was a good time to think about what the next season might hold.
Of course, this is your spoiler alert for the events of Netflix’s Resident Evil live-action series. The first run may be divisive with critics, but it managed to knock Stranger Things out of the No. 1 spot on Netflix’s top TV shows chart for a few days before moving to the No. 2 spot (never betting against Eleven).
First things first, yes, Netflix has not greenlit Resident Evil season 2. However, Andrew Dabb, the mastermind behind the entire series, has explained that he has already been talking about his plans for a second season .
Resident Evil season 2: Netflix release date speculation
It feels like we’ll have to wait right for a season of Resident Evil 2, if Netflix decides to greenlight it. Read also : A quiet time in sports? It depends on where you look. 17 months separated the start of production (February 2021) and the release of the first season (July 2022).
So, we wouldn’t expect Resident Evil 2 until winter 2023/early 2024 at the earliest. We’d bet at the end of that, of course, series master Andrew Dabb has to write the next season first, and who knows if he’ll do that before Netflix makes this official.
Resident Evil season 2 cast
The Resident Evil 2 season, if it happens, will continue to tell stories using its parallel timelines, showrunner Andrew Dabb confirmed to Collider (opens in new tab) when asked. The only question is if the series decides to move things further in time for the “before” half, we might see completely new actors playing young Jade and young Billie. But we think they will stick with the two actors they have.
The other big question for the Resident Evil season 2 cast is “who is going to be playing Ada Wong?” When Al sent Bert, Billie and Jade away in episode 8, he gave them all Ms Wong’s name as a contact who could help them.

In that Collider interview, Dabb essentially said that Wong will appear if there’s a season 2, stating “Certainly, by the end of the show, we’re kind of teasing characters, including Ada Wong. If we’re n lucky enough to get a Season 2, I think we can expect multiple characters from the games to appear in ways that are inevitable, and hopefully a little surprising.”
Here’s a full list of the expected Resident Evil season 2 cast:
Resident Evil season 2 plot possibilities and season 1 ending explained
Resident Evil season 2 will likely pick up with Bert, Billie and Jade on the run from Umbrella in 2022 and Jade trying to save her daughter Bea from Billie in 2036. To see also : What time will ‘Stranger Things’ Season 2 Volume 4 be on Netflix?. So let’s break down the first, and second last.
In 2022: Tyrant – the victim of a giant, clawed and mutated T Virus – was seen breaking out of the demolished Umbrella laboratory. It’s likely to stir up some chaos as we go along, while Bert, Billie and Jade track down Ada Wong, a spy who worked against the Umbrella Corporation in the Resident Evil games.
We’ll also probably see more of how a rift formed between Billie and Jade, as the state we last saw them in in season 1 doesn’t match their state in 2036. Evelyn will likely , or someone else, trying to radicalize Billie to join Umbrella. The two parted ways while Jade was pregnant with Bea, so there will probably be a time jump at some point. We hope that Bert survives until the day where he can find an organization with truly unlimited breadsticks.
In 2036: The story is simple: Jade (possibly with Arjun’s help) needs to find Bea. Billie is likely to do all sorts of experiments on the girl, as she sees the giant crocodile T-Virus mutating and ignoring the child.
Jade and her crew now have a little more information on how to stop the T Virus, because there is something in her DNA that will help. Her spitting helped create the repellency, and something in Bea made the crock stay away from her.
