28 Years Later, the next chapter in the iconic post-apocalyptic franchise, is now streaming on OTT in the Apple TV Plus platform. Directed by Danny Boyle and written by Alex Garland, the film first released in theatres on June 20, 2025, and has been getting a solid response from both critics and audiences.

PlotThe film follows Jamie and his 12-year-old son Spike, who live in a quiet island community off the coast of Great Britain, one of the few places left untouched by the Rage Virus. Every year, the island's families follow an old hunting tradition where fathers take their sons to the mainland. But when Jamie brings Spike across the water this time, things take a turn for the worse.

What starts as a simple trip becomes something much darker, as they come face-to-face with evolved infected zombies and unsettling truths about the world they thought they knew. It's a mix of survival, discovery, and reckoning, all seen through the eyes of a generation that's grown up far away from the chaos that once brought society to its knees.

CastThe ensemble cast of 28 Years Later includes Aaron Taylor Johnson as Jamie, the father who takes his son Spike, played by Alfie Williams, on the hunting sojourn. Jodie Comer plays, Isla, Spike's mother and Jamie's wife. She's suffering from an incurable disease and Spike takes her to see the mysterious Dr Ian Kelson played by Ralph Fiennes. The supporting cast includes Jack O'Connell as Sir Jimmy Crystal, Edvin Ryding as Erik Sundqvist, Christopher Fulford as Sam and Stella Gonet as Jenny.

Where to WatchIf you missed it in theatres, 28 Years Later is now streaming on Apple TV Plus.

The platform also shared a behind-the-scenes look at how some scenes were shot using iPhones, a creative move by Boyle that gives parts of the film a raw, immersive feel. What's Next The story isn't over yet. A follow-up titled 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple is already in the works and will hit theatres in January 2026. This time, Alex Garland is stepping in as director while continuing to write the story. Also Read: 28 Years Later Review - Artful, Slow-burn Zombie Saga
