Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness – Netflix anime series reveals more details

Last Updated on July 30, 2021

Nick Apostolides and Stephanie Panisello provided the voices of the characters Leon S. Kennedy and Claire Redfield for the 2019 remake of the Resident Evil 2 video game, and now it has been revealed that Apostolides and Panisello will be reprising those roles for the upcoming Netflix CG anime series Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness.

Produced and supervised by Capcom's Hiroyuki Kobayashi, Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness is set within the continuity of the video games, taking place "a few years after Resident Evil 4". Here's the synopsis: 

In 2006, there were traces of improper access to secret Presidential files found in the White House’s network. American federal agent Leon S. Kennedy is among the group invited to the White House to investigate this incident, but when the lights suddenly go out, Leon and the SWAT team are forced to take down a horde of mysterious zombies.

Meanwhile, TerraSave staff member Claire Redfield encounters a mysterious image drawn by a youth in a country she visited, while providing support to refugees. Haunted by this drawing, which appears to be of a victim of viral infection, Claire starts her own investigation.

The next morning, Claire visits the White House to request the construction of a welfare facility. There, she has a chance reunion with Leon and uses the opportunity to show him the boy’s drawing. Leon seems to realize some sort of connection between the zombie outbreak at the White House and the strange drawing, but he tells Claire that there is no relation and leaves. In time, these two zombie outbreaks in distant countries lead to events that shake the nation to its very core.

TMS Entertainment led the production of the series, with Quebico handling the animation.

The series will be available to watch on the Netflix streaming service sometime in 2021.
