Here is how Netflix's Resident Evil connects to the video game series.
Netflix's Resident Evil is now out and although it's not based on any of the games, it does connect to the games. Resident Evil is basically a sequel to a bunch of the games, albeit it's relatively selective about the ones that it chooses to pull from. This is mostly due to the fact that Albert Wesker is alive in the series and he"died" in Resident Evil 5.
Ultimately, Umbrella was responsible for a virus getting loose in the city, creating monsters and zombies. It was intended to be contained by destroying the city, but obviously there are more Resident Evil games and now a TV show, so the problem remains. To most of the characters in the show, they've been told Raccoon City was destroyed by a big gas leak and there was nothing more to it beyond that.
Albert eventually catches Jade and Billie in his secret lab and begins to steadily reveal information to both them and the audience. By the end of the series, it's revealed that the Albert Wesker we've been following is not technically the one we saw in the games… he's a clone! What a twist! That part is new to the Resident Evil lore, so we won't go too deep into it here, but the"real" Albert Wesker was burnt alive in a volcano at the end of Resident Evil 5.
Dr. William Birkin is also mentioned at a few points in the show and he's basically the one we can thank for… everything, really. Aside from Umbrella as a general entity, he's responsible for the Raccoon City outbreak as he injected himself with the G-Virus and became a mutated beast while also breaking vials of the T-Virus, unleashing it on rats and the water supply, causing a large outbreak.
