By the way, that's also a very Resident Evil thing where there's a lot of cameras, a lot of fixed points of view, things like that that you have to kind of work around, so that was fun to do. And, “Okay, how can they beat that?” And of course the hacker friend helps them. If you're a kid trying to sneak around your house these days and your house is a smart home, it's not so easy to do. I’m however old I am, and when I grew up, there were no Ring cameras in the house, there were no notifications or Find Your Friends on your phone or all that kind of stuff. It was interesting because Lindsey Villarreal, who wrote that episode, came in with a pitch, “Let's do an episode that is like the game, where you're in a house uncovering clues.” And so we really leaned into that and it was really fun. Having Jade and Billie crawl around their home to find clues that Albert left for them was clever and provided a comedic counterbalance to the apocalyptic drama. And it ended up, especially with the Bert case, being a great character. It's a pretty far cry from The Wire, for example, but it's super fun. It’s a side of Lance you don't see very often. And it was very interesting because his process was, he had people from his real life that he put into those roles like, “Oh, I have a friend I grew up with who's very much like Bert, let me kind of take what I know from him and apply that to this character and filter through my own process,” and it worked out great. For Lance to play all those characters was really cool because it gave him the opportunity to really stretch as an actor. And then there's the Alby character, who of course dies pretty quickly. There's the Bert character who's a little bit more quirky and focused. Then there's the Albert character, who’s the more mature character. Obviously, there's OG Wesker who has the haircut and he's cool and he's psychotic. When we were talking to Lance, we tried to give each of the Weskers their own character. Let's leverage that and create some new Weskers. ” And clones are a part of Resident Evil lore from way back. I'm clearly the best possible, so let me. What would he have left behind?” He's a guy, “Well, I need the best possible research team. So, “Okay, but he's very much a narcissist. He wasn't wearing volcano- and rocket launcher–proof clothes.
In the fifth game, the real Albert Wesker dies in a volcano by being shot by a rocket launcher - and you don't really come back from that. Yeah, so it was interesting because the idea of Wesker being a clone kind of was there very early on. Present-day Albert being a clone is one of the season’s biggest twists. It's a chance to kind of bring these characters even deeper into the world of Resident Evil and the universe and the lore that I think it's going to be really fun. And if we are lucky enough to get a Season 2, Ada Wong - who's a character people know and love but hasn't been around in the games for quite a while - we can have some fun with her own missing years and other characters, who I won't name right now. So now let's get even deeper because it gets crazy. And now at the end of Season 1, we have done that. Part of the mission of Season 1 was - obviously Albert Wesker is a returning character, although he ends up being a new Albert - establishing these new characters in this world. What can you say about your plans for her?
WE NEED TO GO DEEPER MONSTERS SERIES
The season ends with a young Jade finding a note from her deceased father that tells her to find Ada Wong, who is a character from the video game series and can possibly help them. In the chaos, Billie shoots Jade and captures Bea, whose unique genetics may be the key to solving several problems. The University survives Umbrella’s attack with the help of a giant, infected crocodile - but it’s a pyrrhic victory. It’s also where Jade lives with her husband, Arjun (Ahad Raza Mir), and daughter, Bea. Imagine what she will do in Season 2 to get her daughter back from her sister (who she's not the biggest fan of).”Īt the end of the action-horror show’s first season, Jade faces off with her estranged twin sister, Billie (Adeline Rudolph), who now runs the corrupt Umbrella Corporation in the year 2036 and is hell-bent on destroying the University, a large boat that’s the primary record of all human history in this postapocalyptic future. “We've seen what she did to get back to her family in Season 1. “We've got a character who you very much understand their motivation,” showrunner Andrew Dabb tells Tudum. On the bright side, though, at least it gives her somewhere to go in a potential second season. And she got what she wanted - and then lost it almost immediately.
In Resident Evil Season 1, the adult version of Jade Wesker (Ella Balinska) wanted nothing more than to be reunited with her family.
