The terror evolves. 28 Years Later, the long-anticipated third chapter of the 28 Days Later franchise, has dropped its first trailer, teasing a harrowing return to the world of the Rage virus. Directed by Danny Boyle, the creator of the original, this installment promises to push the series’ visceral horror and emotional depth to unprecedented heights.
The trailer opens with haunting shots of abandoned cities overtaken by nature, juxtaposed with glimpses of scattered survivors in fortified compounds. A chilling voiceover warns, “Time doesn’t heal—it corrodes. And now, it’s back.” The Rage virus, believed to have been eradicated decades ago, resurfaces, spreading chaos across continents.
The narrative appears to center on a new generation grappling with the aftermath of societal collapse. Among them is a young protagonist, connected to survivors from the earlier outbreaks, who must navigate a world on the brink of total ruin. The trailer showcases intense action sequences, a desperate search for hope, and the terrifying evolution of the infected—faster, more relentless, and more horrifying than ever.
With Boyle’s signature tension-building and grim atmosphere, 28 Years Later looks to explore not only the survival of humanity but the emotional scars left by decades of fear and isolation. Fans of the franchise can expect the same unrelenting dread and thought-provoking storytelling that made the series a genre-defining phenomenon.
Prepare to run—again. 28 Years Later infects theaters in 2025.
