I lost my mind when I first heard that we horror fans were finally going to get a third entry into the 28 Days Later franchise. I’m so happy that we can finally call this horror series a trilogy, and it took years for this dream to happen!

From what I saw in the trailer, we are getting brand new characters like we did in the sequel, and it appears that the world still hasn’t gone back to normal. You would expect after 28 years, that people would come together and start over. 

Unfortunately, that does not appear to be the case. 

We are now following the story of a father and son, who must leave their island of refuge and enter back into the world of the dead and evil people who are both still a huge threat. The new enemy threat in the third installment looks like a cult, and damn, I am excited!

There is a lot of potential here, and I’m curious what they are planning to do with these creepy bastards!

Another thing I’m real excited about is the return of Cillian Murphy. I have a lot of questions for his future in the franchise, I’m not 100% sure if he is returning in the third film, but there was a rumor of the actor coming back for future films. 

It would be awesome to learn what his character Jim, has gotten up to during the 28 years of hell. 

Is he happy and living his life with Selena and Hannah? Did he lose his family, and is now all alone in this dark world? Or is he now a part of an organization, determined to find a way to end the zombies for good?

The possibilities of Jim’s return are endless, and I can’t wait to see what they do with his character! 

28 Years Later is releasing in theaters on June 20th, 2025. 

Damn, I’m not sure how I’m going to wait that long…
