Netflix’s new Resident Evil show is absolutely ridiculous, so it’ll take some work to top the silliness in a hypothetical second season. One way to do it, however, would be to embrace the memes and introduce Resident Evil: Village’s ginormous Lady Dimitrescu – and if showrunner Andrew Dabb has his way, that’s exactly what will happen.
“Over the course of the series, I want to bring everything in,” he told Polygon, as spotted by Eurogamer.net. “Left to my own devices, I want Lady D, I want the plant monster, I want it all.” Of course, Dabb understands that time and budget are limiting factors – and it may not be possible to touch every facet of Resident Evil’s lore. In fact, it’s yet to be confirmed whether there’ll even be a second season to begin with.
In our TV show review, we pointed out that you need to detach yourself from the lack of logic in order to truly enjoy Netflix’s adaptation, but there’s no question the end result is entertaining. Do you want to see Ella Balinska battling the bewitching Lady Dimitrescu? To be honest, we’re pretty sure similar content already exists if you’re willing to venture into unsavoury corners of the Internet.

Curious but in a morbid sort of way. Not sure I could stomach the thirsty people.
Removed - unconstructive
They'd probably cast someone who's like 4ft 10 to play her lol

In my opinion, Lady Dimitrescu is fairly overrated as a character. Yes she has some good dialogue, but she mainly just stalks you around the castle and then turns into a dragon thing and you blow her up. She's the first boss of the game basically
Crazy that the mh movie is better and more faithful to its video game series than this trash. Putting all the popular things in one show just shows how messy it is. Not to mention what they did to my beloved characters. They'll screw up lady D. too.
She will probably just be some high school bully.
@pyrrhic_victory Not every first boss is a tall lady with Donkey Konga Bazongas. Would be interesting if so. Asylum Demon with Donkey Konga Bazongas. Kuze from Yakuza 0 with Donkey Konga Bazongas. The possibilities are endless.
I honestly tried my best to enjoy the new series but it was a hard watch. Not sure why they chose the CW route but I don't think it works very well with RE. I'd rather them go with the atmosphere of Village than forcing another interesting character into this bland show. Either way, good luck to them.
No I'd like it if they ended it here instead of making a mockery of it since Netflix doesn't
care about making a true adaptation with Cowboy Bebop, Death Note, and now Resident Evil. The West has shown multiple times that they can't make a proper adaptation to save their lives. Only exception of it is Sonic and that managed to be even better in the sequel.
Well that's wishful thinking... Imagine that, a future for this show. Not likely.
I seriously doubt this will be renewed for a Season 2, was always going to bomb.
So they want some sex appeal, really that's it.
@pyrrhic_victory Couldn't agree more..the only character that stands out to me is duke..and he's just a merchant..village hasn't delivered the hype for me..7 was way scarier and better..
Put the show to rest, hire someone competent and then try again, RE fans are pretty good at forgetting the worst of the RE universe
lol i turned this off after 5 minutes. nothing to do with resident evil just a random zombie tv show.
was hoping they would go with the original game it has a good setting to start from. oh well il just play through the original trilogy to get my resi fix. better call saul now that is such a class show 😊
Just take her, she's very lame and should suit the show just fine.
No no no no no no no. Please don’t let them ruin anymore of this series
I have a feeling this show won't get another season anyway.
@Would_you_kindly
I'd pay for big Shaq being cast for the role. I'd buy the collector's edition and all the merch
@BoldAndBrash you mean the American basketball player ? Lol
@Would_you_kindly
Only one that fits the bill

@Zombiechris What?
Andrew Dabb and his team will be lucky if this weak show even gets a second season to begin with, and right now that luck is as likely as a ice cube in an oven.
