If the finale of The Last of Us season 2 left you hungry for more zombie tales, 28 Years Later may fill that void perfectly.
More than two decades have passed since a young man played by Cillian Murphy woke up in a world where a mysterious virus has turned people into zombies. 28 Days Later, directed by Danny Boyle, launched a series of survival horrors. However, its next instalment – 28 Weeks Later – was created by a different director. In 2025, Boyle returns to the post-apocalyptic world and intends to stay in it for longer, as 28 Years Later will launch a new horror trilogy.
Sadly, Cillian Murphy doesn’t appear in the movie. Although fans thought they spotted the Oscar award-winning actor in the film’s first trailer, it was, in fact, Angus Neill, starring as a zombie. 28 Years Later also features Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jodie Comer, Ralph Fiennes, Jack O’Connell, Erin Kellyman and Emma Laird, among others.
The cinema is the best place to find out what happened 28 years after the outbreak of the mysterious epidemic. However, if you’re ready for a rewatch, here’s where to catch Danny Boyle’s new film.

An agreement between Sony and Disney signed in 2021 says that after spending some time on Netflix, the studio’s films will premiere on Disney+ and Hulu. 28 Years Later, therefore, will eventually land on these two platforms – however, it hasn’t yet been announced when this may happen.
In the UK, 28 Years Later will most likely land on Sky Cinema, but it’s harder to predict this release date as patterns vary. Fortunately, there is a way to watch Netflix US in the UK.
