28 YEARS LATERAlmost three decades after the Rage virus escaped from a lab, the UK remains under relentless quarantine. Survivors have learned to live among the infected, building isolated communities in a ruined world. One of those communities exists on Lindisfarne Island, connected to the mainland by a single, heavily guarded causeway. When a father and his son leave the safety of the island and venture into the heart of the mainland, they uncover secrets, wonders, and horrors—proof that both the infected and the survivors have changed in terrifying ways.
Directed by Danny Boyle and written by Alex Garland—the creative duo behind 28 Days Later—this new chapter marks their long-awaited return to the saga. Starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jodie Comer, and Ralph Fiennes, among others. While Cillian Murphy, the original film’s lead, doesn’t appear in this entry, he returns as executive producer and could make a comeback in the sequels.
28 Years Later is the third installment in the franchise, following 28 Days Later (2002) and 28 Weeks Later (2007). It hits theaters on June 20, 2025, kicking off a brand-new trilogy. The next chapter, 28 Years Later: The Temple of Bone, is already in the can and set for release on January 16, 2026.
