Here’s how to stream ’28 Years Later’ at home now

“28 Years Later” is officially available to stream at home.

Released in theaters on June 20, “28 Years Later” is now available to buy and rent from on-demand platforms including Prime Video.

The sequel to “28 Days Later” and “28 Weeks Later” is set, well, 28 years after the second Rage Virus outbreak, and follows a new group of survivors on a quarantined island in the British Isles.

Newcomer Alfie Williams stars as Spike, a 12-year-old whose father (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) takes him across the causeway onto the mainland for a coming-of-age hunting ritual. There, he discovers secrets, wonders and horrors, mutations to the infected, and survivors who are still fighting off the infected.

The film marks another collaboration between director Danny Boyle and screenwriter Alex Garland, who worked on the original “28 Days Later.”

If you stream “28 Years Later” and find yourself wanting more, don’t worry: a sequel featuring many of the same cast members, “28 Years Later: The Bone Temple,” is set to hit theaters in January 2026. Boyle did not return to direct “The Bone Temple,” but it will feature a screenplay by Garland.
