is a British post-apocalyptic horror franchise which consists of two films, a graphic novel, and a comic book series. It revolves around the survivors of Rage - a fictional, bloodborne, highly contagious disease which turns its hosts into vicious, raging killers within seconds of infection - after the disease has decimated Great Britain.
The original film was directed by Danny Boyle and written by Alex Garland, and was a critical and commercial success. Following the film's success, a 2007 sequel, 28 Weeks Later, directed by Juan Carlos Fresnadillo, was made; like the previous film, it also garnered generally positive reaction from critics, and was a box office success. 28 Days Later also spawned a graphic novel called 28 Days Later: The Aftermath, which expanded on the origins of the Rage virus and the timeline of the outbreak; and a 2009-2011 comic book series of the same name, which continued the story of, and expanded on the backstory of, one of the main characters of the first film.

Two Cambridge University scientists named Clive and Warren were hired by an unknown company to develop an anger inhibitor that could end domestic and urban rage worldwide. At first, they experimented on volunteers from the university, but as Cambridge University students obviously didn't have uncontrollable rage, Warren decided it was a waste of time.
Warren was able to get a contact at a police station and secure a violent criminal to test the inhibitor on. However, the injections of the inhibitor were too diluted, so Warren increased the dosage. The criminal broke free and attacked Clive and Warren, forcing Warren to kill him. Warren then decided that they should test the inhibitor on chimpanzees, as Clive had been suggesting all along. While Clive and Warren were burying the criminal at dawn, Clive sneezed, giving Warren an idea. They had decided that delivering widespread with a pill or an aerosol wouldn't do, so Warren decided to use the Ebola Virus as a delivery system.
Using this new delivery system, Clive and Warren exposed several chimpanzees to the inhibitor. However, some of the Ebola genomes that Clive and Warren had attempted to isolate reacted to the inhibitor, and the contagion and inhibitor mutated into the Rage Virus. Clive was so disgusted by this that he quit, and informed the Animal Freedom Front of the experimentation on chimps before shooting himself. Clive survived this suicide attempt and was taken to hospital, but was left comatose (28 Days Later: The Aftermath). At around the same time, a bicycle courier in London, named Jim, was hit by a car while delivering a package to Shaftsbury Avenue, and taken to hospital, where he slipped into a coma (28 Days Later (film)).
Three members of the AFF then arrived at the Cambridge Primate Research Centre, where the infected chimps were being kept, to free them. A scientist tried to warn the activists about the Infection, but they didn't listen, and released one of the chimps. The chimp attacked and infected one of the activists, before another activist killed it. The infected activist then infected the other activists and the scientist (28 Days Later (film)). Another chimp was then able to escape, and infect Warren when the latter came to investigate (28 Days Later: The Aftermath).
At around this time, Tammy and Andy Harris were sent by their parents, Don and Alice Harris, to Spain on a school trip (28 Weeks Later).
The Infected were then able to escape into Cambridge and began spreading the Infection. The media initially thought of the Infected's rampage as rioting, but as it was happening in small towns and villages around Cambridge, this was discredited (28 Days Later (film)). During this time, the day after the Rage Virus first broke out in Cambridge, an infected chimp from the Primate Research Facility attacked and infected a boy called Liam in Cherry Hinton Hall while Liam and his family were having a picnic there. When Sid, Liam's brother, and their father, Roger, saw this, the two brutally beat the chimp to death, while three nearby paramedics tended to the infected Liam.
In March, 2007, Danny Boyle, the director of the first film, announced that he planned to create a third film in the series, called 28 Months Later (2 Years Later) with a 2013 (originally 2009) release date. Boyle stated that he planned to set the movie in Russia. It was also announced in June 2007 that if DVD sales of 28 Weeks Later did well enough, Fox Atomic would consider producing a third film.
Boyle revealed in July 2007, while promoting Sunshine, that he has a story formulating for the third film. "There is an idea for the next one, something which would move [the story] on. I've got to think about it, whether it's right or not." Boyle also revealed that he would return as the director. Alex Garland (the screenwriter of the first film), on the other hand, said in October 2010: "When we made 28 Days Later, the rights were frozen between a group of people who are no longer talking to each other. And so, the film is never going to happen unless those people start talking to each other again. There is no script as far as I'm aware."
