We get the sense that a cure has been developed, as the race winner gets a shot at Sanctuary, where the elites live freely and like kings. That's right, these creatures are used to block the poor into their shanty towns and ghettos.Ĭurfew's virus could easily have come from the chimpanzee facility too, and factoring in how this new series is set in the late 2000s (the nostalgic music from the '90s is used to remind everyone of happier and zombie-free times) and that the zombies look and act exactly like the ones from 28 Days Later, you can't help but feel like this country is the one that's got back on track after 28 Weeks Later ended.

It ended with a group of survivors - Jim (Cillian Murphy), Selena (Naomie Harris) and Hannah (Megan Burns) - in the countryside trying to flag down the military.
