Rising Star: Alfie Williams


29 01 2025

Up-and-coming screen star Alfie Williams makes his feature film debut in Danny Boyle's 28 Years Later, due in cinemas in June 2025.

The long anticipated sequel to Boyle's zombie horror 28 Days Later stars Williams as Jodie Comer and Aaron Taylor-Johnson's son, struggling to survive almost three decades on from the outbreak of a deadly virus. At only 14 years old, the Newcastle upon Tyne native already has a collection of impressive credits under his belt, including the short film Phallacy (co-starring Stephen Graham), His Dark Materials and BBC Radio 4's Our Friends in the North adaptation.
