May 9 Will Be a Sad Day for Resident Evil Fans

Additionally to video games and live-action films, this franchise boasts a variety of animated productions as well. Regrettably, one of these “anime” films is about to be removed from the popular streaming platform.

Two years ago, “Resident Evil: Death Island” made its debut in Asian cinemas – the latest computer-generated imagery (CGI) film in the franchise. Now available for streaming on Netflix, it’s one of several titles from this property you can find on the platform. If you’re eager to stay updated with the series’ storyline, you have less than a month left to catch up by watching the movie, as time is running out!

The Newest Resident Evil Animated Movie Is Soon Leaving Netflix

Manufactured by TMS Entertainment, “Resident Evil: Death Island” marks the latest CGI addition to the Resident Evil anime movie series. These films are recognized as being consistent with the video games, with “Death Island” taking place in 2015 (two years prior to the events of “Resident Evil 7: Biohazard”). The narrative revolves around an outbreak of the T-virus in San Francisco, where familiar characters such as Jill Valentine, Chris Redfield, and Leon S. Kennedy are called into action to contain the crisis. “Resident Evil: Death Island” has been available on Netflix for approximately a year, but fans may not have much longer to enjoy it.

Mark my words, I’ll be reminding you all: “Resident Evil” the animated movie will bid farewell from Netflix on May 7, 2025. With only a few weeks left, it’s high time to catch it if you haven’t already, given its 91-minute runtime. It seems like May is parting ways with “Resident Evil: Death Island” as the sole anime departure from Netflix, while most of the western live-action films and series are moving out. This trend aligns with how streaming platforms have become our preferred destinations for anime content. However, fear not, as Netflix will continue to hold the exclusive rights for the “Resident Evil” live-action series that premiered in 2022, lasting one season. Notably, this was one of Lance Reddick’s final performances, an actor renowned for his exceptional work in various productions.
