“28 Years Later” Sets Netflix Debut for September 20

The streaming window becomes a key test for Sony after strong reviews, softer audience scores, and modest PVOD results.

Overview

  • A Netflix listing confirms the film will begin streaming worldwide on September 20 following its summer theatrical and PVOD runs.
  • Directed by Danny Boyle and written by Alex Garland, the film stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jodie Comer, Ralph Fiennes, Jack O’Connell and Alfie Williams.
  • The movie earned about $150.1 million worldwide on a reported $60 million budget, with $70.4 million domestic and roughly $79.7 million international.
  • Critical reception was strong versus more measured audience response, reflected in an 88% critics’ score and a 63% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, and it failed to top PVOD charts.
  • Sequel 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, directed by Nia DaCosta, is slated for January 16, 2026, and a scripted third film awaits a green light contingent on the sequel’s performance.
