28 Years Later is an upcoming post-apocalyptic horror film. Director Danny Boyle and writer Alex Garland are making a comeback to the horror genre with the eagerly anticipated 28 Years Later, more than 20 years after the release of the groundbreaking zombie movie 28 Days Later.
In essence, contributing to the zombie craze of the 2000s, 28 Days Later tells the story of Jim (Cillian Murphy), a regular bicycle courier, who recovers from a month-long coma to discover that a zombie fury virus has taken over London. The walkers in 28 Days Later were faster, meaner, and scarier than zombies in other movies because they didn’t follow the same tropes. Here’s everything you need to know about the long-awaited 28 Years Later.

On June 20, 2025, 28 Years Later will be released in theaters in the US and the UK by Sony Pictures. From May 2024 to the end of July 2024, filming was conducted.

What will 28 Years Later be about?
According to the official synopsis for 28 Years Later, “The rage virus escaped from a biological weapons laboratory over thirty years ago, and now, while still under a harshly enforced quarantine, some have managed to survive among the infected. A small island that is connected to the mainland by a single, closely guarded causeway is home to one such group of survivors.
Upon departing the island on an expedition into the shadowy interior of the mainland, one of the group members uncovers mysteries, wonders, and horrors that have altered not just the infected but also other survivors. The film’s narrative was revealed by Fiennes in an earlier interview with IndieWire, which read: “Britain is 28 years into this terrible plague of infected people who are violent, rabid humans with a few pockets of uninfected communities.”
“A young child who wants to find a doctor to help his ailing mother is at the center of everything. This stunning northern English landscape is traversed by him and his mother. “Of course, the infected are hiding amid them in woodlands, hills, and forests. He discovers a doctor, however, who is a force for good although we might expect him to be strange and peculiar.
