“28 Years Later” is officially available to stream at home.
Released in theaters on June 20, “28 Years Later” is now available to buy and rent from on-demand platforms including Prime Video.
The sequel to “28 Days Later” and “28 Weeks Later” is set, well, 28 years after the second Rage Virus outbreak, and follows a new group of survivors on a quarantined island in the British Isles.
Newcomer Alfie Williams stars as Spike, a 12-year-old whose father (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) takes him across the causeway onto the mainland for a coming-of-age hunting ritual. There, he discovers secrets, wonders and horrors, mutations to the infected, and survivors who are still fighting off the infected.
The film marks another collaboration between director Danny Boyle and screenwriter Alex Garland, who worked on the original “28 Days Later.”
If you stream “28 Years Later” and find yourself wanting more, don’t worry: a sequel featuring many of the same cast members, “28 Years Later: The Bone Temple,” is set to hit theaters in January 2026. Boyle did not return to direct “The Bone Temple,” but it will feature a screenplay by Garland.
“28 Years Later” is streaming on-demand on platforms like Prime Video now! “28 Years Later” was released on digital July 29.
“28 Years Later” is available for digital purchase on Prime Video. The film costs $24.99 to buy or $19.99 to rent.
While you won’t have to be a paid Amazon Prime member to buy “28 Years Later,” you will need at least a free Amazon account; that way, you can return to watch “28 Years Later” whenever you want to.
Video-on-demand rentals are good for 30 days, but expire 48 hours after you first hit play on a rented title.
Standouts from “Conclave,” “Killing Eve,” and “Sinners” make up the cast of “28 Years Later.”
While you can stream “28 Years Later” at home now, some may prefer a physical alternative to owning movies digitally, where there’s always the chance that rights may be revoked and you’ll lose that digital access. Physical discs are tangible proof that, as long as you have a player to play it, you’ll be able to watch the movie you own.
The 4K UHD, Blu-ray, and DVD copies of “28 Years Later” will be released at a date still to be announced, but you can preorder now on Amazon to receive your copy on release day.
Right now, you can stream “28 Days Later” on AMC+ with a seven-day free trial. “28 Weeks Later” is streaming on Hulu; new subscribers can take advantage of a 30-day free trial.
