A first piece of footage for the canceled Resident Evil TV series Arklay has surfaced.

Independent filmmaker Shawn Lebert and Mance Media announced a few years back they were working on a TV drama based on Resident Evil called Arklay. The story followed a detective named James Reinhardt who had to investigate multiple homicides in Raccoon City. However, Mance Media ended up passing on Arklay.

You can watch the proof-of-concept short film here, which was recently released by Lebert. All references to Resident Evil have been removed from the video, but it still sports the same moody and tense atmosphere the horror franchise is known for.
