Why didn't they do a 28 months later?

But really... the end of 28 weeks later showed zombies in Paris. That means the entirety of the eastern hemisphere is infected. People would be getting on planes, trying to escape to the US. And we would have to try to keep everybody out. I could see a lot of interesting stories come out of it.

#28YearsLater showcases masterful skills from director Danny Boyle, immersing us in a horrifying world.

It’s violent. It’s creative. It’s scary. But there is such a rich, devastating beauty in the unexpected story of family and love in it.

It’s a stunning achievement. Loved it. pic.twitter.com/gZdyaki87w

No seriously. This is what happens when you get Danny Boyle & Alex Garland back together again! 🔥🔥! It's a proper sequel wondering where things would be 28 years after the rage virus wiped out the UK and how people, and zombies, would've evolved. Still scary, still gnarly af. pic.twitter.com/EVXlziZc65

So many naked zombie butts coming at ‘cha in #28YearsLater.

Danny Boyle and Alex Garland posit clever ideas in this sequel, but fumble a bit making the frights feel unrelenting.

“28 Years Later” is a delight. Fun, tense, occasionally poignant, with images never before seen in a Hollywood studio film. What else could you want from big budget sci-fi? https://t.co/gGcTHcLm28

#28YearsLater is worth the wait. In fact, I think it benefits from the wait. With so many years having passed between installments, there’s so many new layers to explore when it comes to how the world’s changed, how the survivors have adapted, and also how the virus and the… pic.twitter.com/Qfvhk3wTzk

#28YearsLater is a bleak, tender, gorgeously shot iPhone apocalypse: part horror, part humanist fable that is not for the faint hearted. Alfie Williams shines, Edvin Ryding steals scenes, and it’s as full of dread as it is of love. Be prepared to be on the edge of your seat. pic.twitter.com/3Qg0YYjdyj

The ‘28 Years Later’ sequel is a triumphant return to the zombie-infested U.K.https://t.co/QIH3vlZEzi

28 Years Later eschews the raw terror of the original in favor of a tense but tender — and unexpectedly moving — story about the weight of death in a world gone mad. *very* strange. very good. can't wait to see the next part.

THR's review of 28 YEARS LATER: "The performances of Jodie Comer, Alfie Williams and Ralph Fiennes give 28 Years Later a soulful core" ... "it never feels like a cynical attempt to revisit proven material merely for commercial reasons" https://t.co/HStpUoMakG

Jodie Comer's performance in "28 Years Later" is magnificent, haunting, sorrowful and beautiful. It's a level of work that deserves to be in the conversation for a Best Supporting Actress nomination. pic.twitter.com/rLo1YmVnVG

Normally I would agree with you, but it's hard to bet against Garland + Boyle.

So being new to the series, this is all new information for me. But I read somewhere where Danny Boyle considers 28 years later as the true sequel to 28 days later. Has limited acknowledgement for "weeks". I know he didn't direct it, but was apart of the production as an advisor. Thoughts on this?

Edit: So I found the more in depth article explaining this. Sounds like "years" is the true sequel. There are plot points in "weeks" that are completely ignored in "years", tying it more to "days". Having only watched "days"
At this point, I think I'll watch "years" first and them watch "weeks" after.

For anyone like me, who hasn't had time yet to rewatch Days, or had never seen Weeks, this recap, which is a quick 15 minutes, is hugely helpful…

28 Years Later is extremely intense. Mostly fast-paced with brilliant cinematography & sound design that only adds to the horror elements. Alfie Williams & Jodie Comer are incredible! The ending will divide people but I dug it! Can't wait to see where things go next #28YearsLater pic.twitter.com/8XeXHGqPjU

#28YearsLater breathes new life into a near-dead subgenre, with the frantic and ferocious intensity of the original. More concerned with the familial elements than the violence on display, it resonates on a deeper human level. This is a world I can’t wait to see more of. pic.twitter.com/ZXJlA8WK1X

28 Years Later is incredible. It’s a modern horror movie marvel, INSANE camera work with the iPhones,Jodie Comer, and Ralph Fiennes are great in it. Infected have changed in such cool ways. Incredibly moving back half that got a tear outta me. Loved it. pic.twitter.com/ApjlCaSS4T

28 YEARS LATER is EXQUISITE!

It showcases Alex Garland’s gorgeous storytelling and a work of art cinematic eye from Danny Boyle.

Jodie Comer is brilliant. Ralph Fiennes will completely captivate you. Aaron Taylor-Johnson is solid. Youngster Alfie Williams shines! #28YearsLater pic.twitter.com/UnTW7qZnVF

I loved 28 YEARS LATER, a proudly batshit beginning to a z̶o̶m̶b̶i̶e̶ horror epic trilogy, confronting the consequences of the Old Ways while Boyle’s love of digi-cinema experimentation is in full bore. In turns feverishly visceral and shockingly emotional — I cried. Go in blind. pic.twitter.com/ZzsGBbi8ct

LOVED #28YearsLater - it’s my favorite horror movie of the year so far & the best one, imo. Something about Danny Boyle x Alex Garland that just hits all the right spots. The thrills are plentiful, the music rips & the story is smart & surprisingly emotional. And the end! So good pic.twitter.com/gNz86NgI48

— Erik Davis (@ErikDavis) June 18, 2025

28 Years Later: Just as he rejuvenated the zombie 23 years ago, Boyle swerves in so many ways to revive something limp into a shockingly moving and funny film. I basically cried for the entire last act. Looks *incredible.* My favorite Ralph Fiennes performance. Adored it
