resident Evil it was one of the most criticized series of 2022. Whether for its deviation from the original story, or for its characters, the Netflix production was met, almost immediately, with the rejection of critics and viewers around the world. Obviously, the platform streaming decided to cancel the project and not continue with more seasons. A few months after the news was released, Ella Balinska, one of the protagonists, has spoken about the cancellation of Resident Evil.
The London actress spoke to Entertainment Weekly upon Forspoken, a new video game that she stars in. During the talk, resident Evil came out, and it is that the series was also inspired by the events of the popular video game of the same name. These were his words about the tragic fate of said adaptation.
“I’m super proud of the series we did. I think that, by itself, is an incredible story. Envisioning it in my mind as a limited series feels pretty good to me. It was interesting and exciting, but I believe there are many stories that will remain untold.. Unfortunately, this was one of them,” she declared.
For Ella Balinska’s career, the cancellation of resident Evil It was a hard blow. If the series had a good critical reception or great ratings, surely we would see it in bigger projects. Unfortunately for the actress, his first big break in Hollywood, Charlie’s Angels, it was also a huge flop for the industry.
During the promotion of the series, Balinska revealed to The Hollywood Reporter feeling very identified with Jade, a character she played. Perhaps that identification is what led her to feel proud of the work done.
“She’s a character who’s against the world, doing things for herself, figuring everything out for herself, which are all things I can definitely relate to. She has an idea in her head and wants to go find it. Those are things that made me think that she understood Jane’s broad, outward persona.”
resident Evil premiered on Netflix last July. Although the first viewing figures were positive, fans of the original video games began to criticize the project intensely. The situation did not improve with casual viewers, who also showed their rejection of the story. By its third week on the platform, it had already disappeared from the top 10 most viewed content.
