Netflix US Lands Danny Boyle’s ’28 Years Later,’ Arriving Soon To Your Homes

Netflix never fails to deliver fresh hits from the silver screen to the living rooms right on time. In the infinite ocean of new chills and offbeat finds within Netflix, the undead never sleep. Amidst its current waves is 28 Years Later, the much-awaited follow-up to the post-apocalyptic horror icon that redefined its genre. Stepping out of the mist with gritty originality, undiluted emotional depth, this sequel sets aflame a legacy almost 25 years in the making. And this time, Netflix is bringing the mayhem home.

If the theatres’ cold embrace was not enough to serve the chills, 28 Years Later now can be just a click away underneath the warmth of cozy blankets and horror nostalgia.

28 Years Later arrives on Netflix US soon

Prepare for the worst terrors, mark the calendars, because the infected are back. Netflix starts streaming 28 Years Later in the U.S. on September 20, 2025. The masterpiece directed by franchise veteran Danny Boyle and written by Alex Garland initially charmed the theaters globally on June 20, 2025, under Sony Pictures Releasing. Flaunting a constellation of Hollywood talents, the third instalment in the 28 Days Later film series, following 28 Days Later (2002) and 28 Weeks Later (2007), stars Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jack O’Connell, Alfie Williams, and Ralph Fiennes, with original star Cillian Murphy serving as executive producer.

Though Jim, Cillian Murphy‘s fan-favorite character, does not appear in the movie, his shadow still casts an indomitable presence, with franchise makers poised to revive him in subsequent sequels. This movie paves the way for an adventurous new trilogy. The film traces the terror of an evolved Rage virus that forces survivors to isolate on a close-knit island, as one person returns to the mainland, uncovering secrets and horrors from twisted mutations of the living and dead. Grossing $150.4 million against a $60 million budget, it proved to be a great success, earning rave reviews for its emotionally haunting storytelling, making it a perfect addition to Netflix’s dynamic fall releases. ^[1]
