In simple terms, starting September 2025 in the USA, a highly-anticipated horror film by director Danny Boyle – known for his iconic series – will premiere on Netflix just three months after its initial June release. This quick streaming availability is unusual as wait times for new movies on such platforms have been inconsistent in the past. The early arrival of this top-rated horror movie on Netflix is generating much excitement, and it’s predicted to be one of their most successful releases.
According to Netflix’s announcement on X, the film titled “28 Years Later” is set to premiere on their platform on September 20, 2025. This movie marks the third joint effort between director Danny Boyle and screenwriter Alex Garland, who previously worked together on “28 Days Later” in 2002 and “Sunshine” in 2007, with Boyle also adapting Garland’s novel, “The Beach”, for the big screen in 2000. The upcoming film “28 Years Later” is also the third installment in the “28 Days” series, occurring nearly three decades after a Rage Virus outbreak in the UK and leading directly into an eagerly awaited sequel.
28 years after its initial release, the film “28 Years Later,” helmed by Danny Boyle and penned by Alex Garland, will be available for streaming on Netflix USA starting September 20th.

Why 28 Years Later’s Netflix Release Is So Exciting
Twenty-eight years after its initial theater release on June 20, 2025, the film will become available on Netflix three months later. The movie features Aaron Taylor Johnson, Jodie Comer, and newcomer Alfie Williams in leading roles as Jamie, Isla, and Spike, respectively. They inhabit the tidal island of Lindisfarne, which is occasionally isolated from the mainland UK due to high tide covering a causeway. In the storyline, Alfie ventures out to the mainland to find a doctor for his ailing mother, encounters some challenging circumstances along the way, and eventually comes across Ralph Fiennes’ character, Ian Kelson.
It’s quite unexpected that the movie titled “28 Years Later” would hit Netflix so swiftly, given that its precursor, “28 Days Later“, only started streaming online shortly before the new film was released. The announcement of “28 Years Later” joining Netflix’s library comes just after the debut of the first trailer for its sequel, “28 Years Later: The Bone Temple“, set to premiere on January 16, 2026. The Netflix release in the U.S. could significantly grow the audience for “28 Years Later” prior to the sequel’s launch next year, making it an ideal choice for the franchise.
What Other Horror Movies Are Becoming Available on Netflix in September 2025?
In September 2025, Netflix isn’t just premiering “28 Years Later,” it’s also offering a selection of horror movies. While “28 Years Later: The Bone Temple” might be the most recent addition, some titles have already been streaming, and others are yet to come. If the trend continues for the upcoming movie, it may air on Netflix in April 2026. However, its release could also be delayed, like the first two movies in the franchise, “28 Days Later” and “28 Weeks Later.” Until then, there’s a whole host of horror films available to watch on Netflix this month.
