Nearly three decades after 28 Days Later changed the face of zombie cinema, 28 Years Later is poised to bring the genre full circle with a gripping new chapter in 2025. Director Danny Boyle returns to helm the film, reuniting fans with the haunting atmosphere and raw intensity that defined the original.
Following 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later, this next installment jumps another generation forward, exploring a world still haunted by the devastating rage virus. Though plot details are tightly under wraps, early buzz suggests a mix of fresh characters and returning favorites—including the potential comeback of Cillian Murphy’s Jim.
The announcement has sparked excitement across horror forums and film communities, as audiences anticipate Boyle’s signature blend of high-stakes tension, cinematic grit, and human vulnerability.
With a release date slated for late 2025, 28 Years Later is expected to be a cultural event for both longtime fans and a new wave of horror enthusiasts. The undead aren’t done yet—and neither is the legacy of this groundbreaking franchise.
