A 3D billboard for Netflix’s new Resident Evil series showcases a monster from the franchise escaping containment in New York City.

A 3D billboard advertising Netflix’s new Resident Evil series features a Licker from the show escaping containment. Based on the iconic video game franchise created by Capcom in the 1990s, Resident Evil is the latest in a string of live-action adaptations and the second-ever television series following 2021's Resident Evil Infinite Darkness. Sharing the same timeline as the video games, the show focuses on the lives of Billie and Jade Wesker both before and after an outbreak of the T-Virus destroys civilization.

Advertising its latest original, Netflix has posted a video of a hyper-realistic billboard featuring one of Resident Evil’s many terrifying monsters. Bursting from the side of a building in New York City, the 3D digital billboard shows a mutant human known as a Licker breaking from a containment cell. Crawling across the glass and roaring at passers-by, the video provides another glimpse at the apocalyptic effects of the T-Virus mentioned in past trailers. Check out the post below:

Starring Ella Balinska and Adeline Rudolph as Jade and Billie, with Tamara Smart and Siena Agudong portraying their younger counterparts, the series also stars Lance Reddick as Albert Wesker, one of the franchise’s most iconic villains, and Paola Núñez as the Umbrella Corporation’s cold and ambitious CEO, Evelyn Marcus. Released on July 14, the latest Resident Evil adaptation developed by Andrew Dabb has so far received a mixed reception from fans and critics. While praised for honoring its source material, some critics have also branded the series too cliché in its attempt to simplify the (admittedly chaotic) lore of the franchise, though it has also been welcomed as a good introduction for Resident Evil newcomers.
