28 Years Later is finally streaming on Netflix

It’s not always what happens during the zombie outbreak that proves important, but what happens afterward. George Romero’s re-envisioning of the risen-undead concept in Night of the Living Dead was pioneering, yet part of what has allowed that vision to endure was his willingness to revisit, revise, and update it over the decades that followed. It’s a tradition that zombie innovators Danny Boyle and Alex Garland uphold as their long-awaited sequel, 28 Years Later, arrives on Netflix, presumably to an even broader audience than its summer 2025 theatrical run.
