Intense New ’28 Years Later’ Trailer Released: “There Are Many Kinds of Death” (2025)

A second trailer for Danny Boyle‘s long-awaited zombie-horror thriller 28 Years Later has been released.

Below is Columbia Pictures’ official second trailer for the film, which returns fans to a postapocalyptic U.K. plagued by the infected undead. Writer Alex Garland (Civil War) has teamed with the Oscar-winning Boyle for the first of two sequels.

The official description: “It’s been almost three decades since the rage virus escaped a biological weapons laboratory, and now, still in a ruthlessly enforced quarantine, some have found ways to exist amidst the infected. One such group of survivors lives on a small island connected to the mainland by a single, heavily defended causeway. When one of the group leaves the island on a mission into the dark heart of the mainland, he discovers secrets, wonders and horrors that have mutated not only the infected, but other survivors as well.”

The film 28 Years Later stars Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jack O’Connell, Alfie Williams and Ralph Fiennes.

“I still love an apocalypse, British-style,” Boyle said last month at CinemaCon. “I still love the infected. And I still love blowing shit up.” He also teased fans will have to be patient to seeoriginal 28 Days Later starCillian Murphyin the new planned trilogy: “Like all good things in life, you may have to wait a little while for him to make his appearance.” Murphy, who won an Oscar for his role in Oppenheimer, also executive produces the new films.

Nia DaCosta, who directed the forthcoming second film,28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, was also at the event. “While it’s very much informed by28 Days Later, the script forThe Bone Templeis very different,” DaCosta said. “I was able to let my freak flag fly.”

28 Years Later will be released in theaters on June 20.
