28 Years Later is an upcoming post-apocalyptic horror film directed by Danny Boyle, from a screenplay he co-wrote with Alex Garland. Produced by Columbia Pictures in association with BFI, DNA Films and Decibel Films, it serves as a sequel to both 28 Days Later (2002) and 28 Weeks Later (2007).

The plot of “28 Years Later” remains under wraps, but it mirrors the beginning of “28 Days Later” where Jim awakens from a coma, unaware of the world’s drastic changes. In this new arc, Jim, having recently been released from prison, is naive about how the world has evolved since the outbreak began. This narrative not only pays homage to the original film’s story but also offers a fresh start for Jim’s character. When Tom Rothman confirmed Cillian Murphy’s return, he mentioned that the actor’s comeback would be “surprising and significantly developed.”

It stars Cillian Murphy reprising his role from 28 Days Later, alongside Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jodie Comer.

28 Years Later is scheduled to be released in the United States on June 20, 2025, by Sony Pictures Releasing.
