28 Years Later

Academy Award-winning director Danny Boyle and Academy Award-nominated writer Alex Garland reunite for 28 YEARS LATER, a terrifying new 'auteur horror' story set in the world created by 28 Days Later.





It's been almost three decades since the rage virus escaped a biological weapons laboratory, and now, still in a ruthlessly enforced quarantine, some have found ways to exist amidst the infected. One such group of survivors lives on an island connected to the mainland by a single, heavily defended causeway. When one of the group leaves the island on a mission into the dark heart of the mainland, he discovers secrets, wonders and horrors that have mutated not only the infected but other survivors as well.





The cast includes Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jack O'Connell, Alfie Williams and Ralph Fiennes.



Alex Garland is the author of the bestselling novels The Beach, The Tesseract and The Coma, and the screenplays for 28 Days Later (2002) and Never Let Me Go (2010), based on the novel by Kazuro Ishiguro. In 2015, he made his directorial debut with Ex Machina and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay, as well as three BAFTAs, including Best Original Screenplay. He went on to direct Annihilation (2018), the horror film Men (2022) and Civil War (2024), starring Kirsten Dunst and Cailee Spaeny. Garland created, wrote and directed Devs, an eight-part mini-series for FX, starring Nick Offerman, which premiered in 2020. Most recently, he co-wrote and directed with Navy SEAL veteran Ray Mendoza the film Warfare, released in spring 2025.
