Published in 2002, 28 days later Star future Oppenheimer Oscar winner Cillian Murphy as Jim, a bicycle courier who awakens from a coma to find that a highly contagious “rage virus” that causes aggression has led to the complete collapse of society. Boyle did not consider the now-classic film a zombie film, but he is credited with reinvigorating the subgenre at the time.

One of the sequel’s stars, Ralph Fiennes, previously revealed details about what to expect from the next film.

“The UK has had this terrible plague of infected people, violent, rabid people, with a few uninfected communities for 28 years,” Fiennes told IndieWire in October. “The focus is on a little boy who wants to find a doctor to help his dying mother. He leads his mother through this beautiful northern English countryside. But of course the infected are hiding around them in forests, hills and forests. But He finds a doctor who is a man we might think is strange and strange, but who is actually a force for good.”
