5. Resident Evil
Andrew Dabb – a name that most of the movie and tv show lovers know very well. Before Resident Evil, he was also a producer for the well*known Supernatural show.

In that period, the entire planet Earth is conquered by the zombies. The thirty-year-old Jade invests a lot of energy to survive in the new normality. However, she also tries to keep the secrets about her father, sister, and overall life in the past.
Unfortunately, we do not know exactly the release date of this tv show. Yet, before the pandemic occurred, the producers announced it will be released between June and October. We can only predict everything will start at the beginning of 2024.
