The 28 Days Later movie franchise has always taken its time. There were five years between 28 Days Later and its sequel 28 Weeks Later, and then a whopping 18 years between 28 Weeks Later and the upcoming 28 Years Later, which will premiere in theaters June 2025. But this time around, fans won’t have to wait years later to revisit this zombie apocalypse. In fact, they won’t even have to wait a year.
When 28 Years Later was first announced, it was described as the first part of a trilogy. Danny Boyle, the director of the first two movies, is returning for it, but that may be his last foray: the second installment in the trilogy, 28 Years Later Part II: The Bone Temple, will be directed by Candyman and The Marvels director Nia DaCosta. But despite the different directors, these movies seem very closely related, down to the release dates.
