28 Years Later is the third film in the 28 Days Later franchise. After the 2002 film, the filmmakers continued with a sequel, 28 Weeks Later (2007). This third film, however, will be the beginning of a completely new trilogy. The project's content is still kept secret.

For more than two decades, both filmmakers Danny Boyle and Alex Garland have achieved certain successes after their successful collaboration in 28 Days Later . For example, Danny Boyle directed the film adaptation of Slumdog Millionaire ( 2008), which received 10 Oscar nominations and won 8; while Alex Garland directed Ex Machina (2014), which received 2 Oscar nominations and won both.

For a long time, this filmmaker duo said that they would start working on the latest film in the 28 Days Later franchise and planned to name it 28 Months Later, but then changed it to 28 Years Later as it is now.

The first film, about survivors and how to survive in the midst of a zombie pandemic, had a huge influence on the horror - zombie film genre as well as the survival film genre. 28 Days Later was the "pedestal" for the name of actor Cillian Murphy in the early 2000s, and it was one of the most profitable horror films in 2002 when it invested only 8 million USD but earned nearly 85 million USD in ticket sales.
