Web Desk — Netflix has canceled Ahad Raza Mir\u2019s starrer \u2018Resident Evil\u2019 series after one season. The first season with 8 episodes premiered on Netflix on July 14.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was an already expected move as the series did not have a particularly strong showing on Netflix\u2019s Top 10. The cost vs. viewing is the streamer\u2019s leading renewal criterion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The main reason that overshadowed Resident Evil was the mega genre hit Stranger Things, which was released within the same time frame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Resident Evil debuted at No. 2 with an OK 72.7 million hours viewed for its opening weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As word of mouth spread, the series did not deliver the big Week 2 bump one would expect for a debut show, raking in 73.3M hours for a No. 3 finish before dropping precipitously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After only three weeks, it dropped out of the Top 10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, the most recent Resident Evil incarnation also received an unimpressive 55% from critics on Rotten Tomatoes and a 27% score from audiences.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
