17 Years Later, an Iconic Post-Apocalyptic Franchise is Going in a Bold New Direction

Fox Searchlight Pictures

It’s been decades since Danny Boyle and Alex Garland redefined the zombie genre with 28 Days Later, but they’re gearing up to try again. The duo have reteamed to helm a sequel trilogy, with the franchise's original star, Cillian Murphy, reprising his role as a zombie apocalypse survivor. Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jodie Comer, and Ralph Fiennes will co-star in the “28 Years Later” trilogy, and the first two installments are well underway.

In a recent interview with IndieWire, Fiennes confirmed that two of the three films have already been shot. Boyle himself directed 28 Years Later, while Marvel alum Nia DaCosta helmed its follow-up, tentatively titled 28 Years Later Part II: The Bone Temple. Specific details about the trilogy have been locked down tight, but Fiennes also teased the plot of the first two films in his conversation with IndieWire.
