#Netflix Reveals Additional Details For Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness 3DCG Anime Series

Netflix has confirmed additional details for the forthcoming Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness 3DCG anime series, with key cast members Nick Apostolides (English) and Toshiyuki Morikawa (Japanese) as Leon S. Kennedy and Stephanie Panisello (English) and Yuko Kaida (Japanese) as Claire Redfield. The aforementioned cast members were previously featured in the 2019 Resident Evil 2 remake in their respective roles.

Resident Evil game producer Hiroyuki Kobayashi is involved in the production as story supervisor while renowned anime studio TMS Entertainment is producing the series, and Quebico is producing the 3DCG animation. Quebico is also the 3DCG animation studio that produced the most recent 3DCG feature film in Resident Evil: Vendetta in 2019 and headed up by producer Kei Miyamoto.

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.
