All the various outbreaks and incidents throughout the early 2000s?
They’re all canon.
Albert Wesker being killed in 2009?

We’re very aware of that and it will be dealt with."
“These events inform our backstory,” Dabb said.
This meshing of timelines even extends into the present day, Dabb said.
“They don’t cross-over, obviously, because they’re happening so far apart.
But certainly now, Village is part of our lore.
If we wanted to now put a giant vampire woman in Season 2, we can.”
“They could have made our lives very difficult,” he joked, assuring that they did not.
“I don’t want to wedge characters in that don’t fit organically,” Dabb explained.
Still–the possibility is certainly there.
Netflix’s Resident Evil show premieres on the streaming service on July 14.
