Chandler Riggs Proposes Two-Season Resident Evil Series Adapting RE7 and Village

Actor Chandler Riggs has pitched a two-season Resident Evil series, with each six-episode season adapting Resident Evil 7 and Resident Evil 8: Village respectively. He wrote, directed and starred in a 20-minute RE7 fan short released on YouTube on October 14, 2026, playing Ethan Winters alongside Jason Douglas as Jack Baker. Riggs said the short was self-funded and uncompensated, making another independent production difficult. He argued RE7's faithful adaptation cannot fit a 90-minute film and that such a series need not require a Marvel-sized budget. The pitch is not greenlit and Constantin Film has not responded.
