According to Variety.com, the show is being created by German production company Constantin Films, and is set to launch after the final film has been released.

So far five films from the franchise, which stars Milla Jovovich as Alice, a woman with super-human capabilities after being transformed by a powerful virus (the "t-virus"), have been released.
