Resident Evil, one of Netflix’s newest original series, has been canceled ahead of a potential second season, according to a Friday report by Deadline.
The first season arrived on Netflix in July, with the show split into two timelines: 2022 and postapocalyptic 2036. Season 1 is sitting at a score of 53 on Metacritic, with a critic score of 55 on Rotten Tomatoes but an audience score of just 27.
The show, based on the popular Resident Evil video game series, also led to a movie reboot last year, following six prior movies starring Milla Jovovich.
Netflix didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
