Ever wonder what would happen if a rage virus crashes your zodiac party, mutating survivors and secrets alike? Well, buckle up—because Danny Boyle and Alex Garland’s dark vision of a post-virus world isn’t just lingering in your nightmares anymore. It’s fully streaming and ready to invade your screen with 28 Years Later, the long-awaited sequel to the cult classic 28 Days Later. Set nearly three decades after the original outbreak, this film throws us into a fiercely guarded island community and then beyond, where mutations go way beyond the infected. With stars like Jodie Comer and Ralph Fiennes, plus a storyline that proves the cosmos might be just as ruthless as a rage virus, this isn’t your typical zombie flick—it’s an emotional drama wrapped in apocalypse chic. Is Mercury in retrograde messing with your survival instincts or just tempting you to hit ‘play’ on something truly wild? Dive in and see what horrors and wonders await in the dark heart of the mainland.

Director Danny Boyle and writer Alex Garland’s post-ragev irus world lives on in 28 Years Later, which is now available to stream online.

Set nearly 30 years after the original film, 28 Years Later stars newcomer Alfie Williams, Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Ralph Fiennes and follows a group of survivors on a small, heavily-defended island. “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,” per the logline.
A second installment, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, will feature Jack O’Connell, Fiennes and 28 Days Later star Cillian Murphy.
“I don’t really consider this a zombie film. I consider it an emotional drama in a harsh landscape,” Sony Pictures chairman Tom Rothman said of 28 Years Later in a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter. “The next one is much more about man’s inhumanity to man.”
