Netflix has shared new images of Leon S. Kennedy and Claire Redfield from the upcoming CGI series Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness. The two new character images were unveiled in a tweet from the official Netflix NX account, which also confirmed that the previously-announced animated Resident Evil series will be "set in the canon of Capcom's classic survival horror franchise."

The pictures offer fans a closer look at the Resident Evil 2 heroes who are taking the lead in the new CGI horror-action series, which is currently scheduled for a global launch exclusively on Netflix in 2021. The new series is being executive produced by Capcom's Hiroyuki Kobayashi, who has been responsible for bringing numerous titles in the Resident Evil series into existence. TMS Entertainment, which has birthed various anime series, will produce Netflix's Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness, with Quebico and Kei Miyamoto, the producer of Resident Evil: Vendetta, overseeing the series' 3DCG animation.

The eight-episode first season will be brought to life by Supernatural alum Andrew Dabb who will serve as executive producer and showrunner on the series. With these two Resident Evil projects in the pipeline, along with Resident Evil Village planning a 2021 release date, the next year should be horrifyingly bright for fans of the beloved horror franchise.
