What’s new 28 years later Tell me the details?

New plot details about 28 years later give us quite a bit of information about what the world was like decades after the events 28 weeks later. If there are only a few pockets of uninfected communities in Britain, it seems that they have not been able to contain the Rage virus or even potentially create safe zones. This also suggests that the world at large may now also be wiped out by the infection. End 28 weeks later ended with a group of infected people appearing in the Paris metro, and this moment showed that the virus had reached continental Europe. It’s just a logical next step to assume that the infection continued to spread from there—especially since one of the characters in the film was an asymptomatic carrier of the rabies virus, suggesting a source of the virus in continental Europe.

28 years later is currently scheduled to hit theaters on June 30, 2025.
