Netflix’s Resident Evil has a dual narrative that jumps between post-apocalyptic horror and high school drama, with the latter half of the show featuring a selection of contemporary tunes.

The story follows sisters Jade and Billie Wesker as they settle into New Raccoon City, South Africa, which is home to a research facility owned by sinister pharmaceutical giant The Umbrella Corporation.

Underneath their feet, shady experiments are being carried out in underground laboratories, which would pose a threat to mankind’s very existence if released.

Jade and Billie are unaware of the danger when they arrive, but their father is high-ranking virologist Albert Wesker, who is privy to much more than he lets on.

Dua Lipa, Billie Eilish and Halsey are among the current A-listers featured on Netflix’s Resident Evil soundtrack, but fans should also listen out for classics from Sex Pistols, Jamiroquai and Mazzy Star. Check out the track list below.
