Using his Twitter, actor Lance Reddick broke the silence on the cancellation of the “Resident Evil” series, posting a video to thank viewers and those involved who helped get the project off the ground.
“We worked hard, had a lot of fun and put on an amazing show,” he said.
He adds, “I want to thank the fans who watched the show and understood what we were trying to do. I also want to thank the showrunners, my co-stars, and the executives at Netflix who believed in our show.
Recall that, despite the series entering the hall of the most watched productions on Netflix, subscribers hated the attraction, which had already become a joke after accumulating negative comments.
Therefore, the cancellation after the 1st season was not really a surprise, considering the shallow plot, the flaws in the script and the poor performances…
On social media, even the franchise’s fan pages are celebrating the decision, along with hundreds of fans unhappy with the show’s outcome.
Have fun watching:
