A Bold Tribute to Survival Horror, “Resident Evil: Resurrection A Biohazard Story” Reunites Original Cast and Promises a Dark New Chapter for Resident Evil Fans
In a thrilling victory for fans of classic survival horror, Resurrection: A Biohazard Story—an ambitious fan-made web series inspired by Resident Evil—has officially reached its funding goal on IndieGogo. The campaign, launched in May by filmmaker and Resident Evil enthusiast Andrew Saullo, aimed to raise $200,000 to fund the four-part mini-series. With over $205,000 secured and a short window left on the campaign clock, production has been greenlit to begin this August.
Resurrection will premiere for free in 2026 on the Residence of Evil YouTube channel, aligning perfectly with the 30th anniversary of Capcom’s legendary Resident Evil franchise. This fan-driven tribute promises a potent mix of old-school survival horror, emotional storytelling, and high-stakes action, all crafted to feel like a spiritual successor to the games that defined the genre.
Set in the fictional town of Rosa Enferma, Mexico, in 2021, Resurrection unfolds amidst a new biohazard outbreak that resurrects more than just the infected. Haunting echoes of past tragedies surface, tying the narrative to events fans know well while introducing fresh characters and lore. The creators have emphasized that the story will blend the eerie, atmospheric feel of the early RE titles with the cinematic edge seen in modern entries like Resident Evil 7 and Village.
The project is deeply rooted in fandom passion. Building on the critical praise of The Keeper’s Diary—a prior short film that reimagined a chilling entry from the original game—Resurrection pushes the envelope further. With an expected runtime of about one hour spread over four episodes, it stands as the most expansive Resident Evil fan production to date.
Come True – Critical Movie Review
Perhaps the most electrifying aspect of Resurrection is the return of several original cast members from the 1996 game. Charlie Kraslavsky (Chris Redfield), Eric Pirius (Albert Wesker), Greg Smith (Barry Burton), Linda (Rebecca Chambers), and Pablo Kuntz (voice of Wesker) are all set to reprise their roles. They’ll be joined by Joe Whyte, who voiced Chris Redfield in the 2002 remake, along with Annie Roig as Jill Valentine and the unmistakable voice of Ward E. Sexton—the man who first uttered “Resident Evil.”
These casting choices aren’t just fan service—they’re a love letter to the community and its enduring connection to the franchise’s roots.
A Passion Project with Professional Execution
Helmed by director and producer Andrew Saullo—an award-winning filmmaker and lifelong RE fan—Resurrection has been meticulously planned for over 17 months. Writer-producer Adi Attavane, who co-leads the project, describes it as a heartfelt offering to the community that has kept the Resident Evil flame burning.
“This story is a love letter not just to Resident Evil, but to the passionate community that’s kept it alive,” said Attavane. “We’re grateful beyond words for every backer who believed in our vision — and now, we get to bring it to life.”
Production kicks off in August 2025, with post-production wrapping up early the following year. All four episodes will be released at once, giving fans a binge-worthy survival horror experience.
Stretch Goals Promise Even More Terror
While the campaign has already crossed its primary target, fans can still support the project through IndieGogo’s InDemand platform. The team has laid out enticing stretch goals:
-
$210,000: Enhanced VFX sequences focusing on Jill Valentine’s storyline.
-
$220,000: Return of the mysterious character known as “The Janitor” and an in-depth behind-the-scenes featurette.
-
$230,000: A red carpet theatrical premiere in Las Vegas for cast, crew, and select supporters.
-
$250,000: A tantalizing post-credit scene teasing what may lie ahead.
As a not-for-profit venture, all proceeds from the campaign go directly toward production essentials such as sets, props, visual effects, travel, and fair compensation for the dedicated cast and crew.
With its successful campaign, original cast reunion, and a deeply nostalgic yet forward-looking story, Resurrection: A Biohazard Story has become one of the most exciting fan-driven projects in the Resident Evil universe. It stands not only as a celebration of the franchise’s legacy but also as proof of what passionate fans can create when given the chance.
Get ready, survivors—Resurrection is coming, and it’s going to be unforgettable.
