Alright, horror fans and apocalypse lovers, we’re back in the infected-ravaged world that changed zombie films forever.

This isn’t just some nostalgic cash grab. Boyle, teaming up once again with the brilliant Alex Garland ( Ex Machina , Civil War ), is crafting something fresh, visceral, and brutally cinematic. The sequel drops us nearly three decades after the rage virus first broke containment, and things haven't gotten better—they've only evolved. Still under strict quarantine, survivors have adapted in wild, desperate ways. We’re introduced to a group eking out a life on a secluded island, connected to the mainland by one treacherously guarded causeway. But of course, someone dares to cross it—triggering a journey into a nightmare where both the infected and the surviving humans have mutated into something far worse.
This isn’t your average zombie flick. The trailer is intense, fast-paced, and packed with haunting visuals. Think British horror grit meets apocalyptic beauty. We get a glimpse of Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s character, Jamie, navigating the ruined landscape with his young son Spike, played by Alfie Williams. There’s something chillingly raw about their survival story. And then there’s Jodie Comer and Ralph Fiennes joining the cast, which raises the acting pedigree through the roof.
But that’s not all—fans of the original, take note: Cillian Murphy will return as Jim… just not in this installment. According to Boyle, we’ll have to be patient. Murphy, now fresh off his Oscar-winning Oppenheimer role, is signed on as executive producer and will reappear later in the planned trilogy. The second film, directed by Candyman’s Nia DaCosta and tentatively titled 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple , is already in the works. So yes, this is a full-blown saga now.
And let’s not ignore the budget—$75 million per film signals serious ambition and high expectations. Boyle’s clearly not just reviving the series for fun. He’s here to shake up the horror genre again, and judging by this new trailer, he’s pulling no punches.
So, mark your calendars: 28 Years Later hits theaters on June 20. It’s gritty, explosive, and unapologetically British horror at its best. If the teaser is any indication, this is more than a sequel—it’s a reinvention. Get ready to run again.
