When it comes to the sequel of 28 Weeks Later, one aspect that has left audiences divided is the fate of the children.

Unraveling the Mystery of the 28 Weeks Later Kids

Why Are They So Annoying?

The children in question are the descendants of Don, a key figure in the original 28 Weeks Later. Imogen Poots portrays Tammy, and Mackintosh Muggleton brings Andy to life. During the initial 28 Days Later outbreak, they were out of the country, escaping the initial danger. But in 28 Weeks Later, they are repatriated to the UK when the infected start dying of hunger. They are confined to the Isle of Dogs with a strict rule - not to leave the area. However, Tammy and Andy ignore this rule and venture out to their old home in London, encountering numerous dangers along the way. They find their infected mother, who is asymptomatic with the rage virus, potentially holding the key to a cure.Back on the Isle of Dogs, Don's visit to his wife in the containment facility leads to a tragic chain of events. His wife infects him, causing a rampage that spreads the virus once again, restarting the apocalypse. It's clear that their selfish actions had far-reaching consequences.

Did They Die or Survive?

The debate surrounding their fate hinges on the ambiguous ending of 28 Weeks Later. Andy is bitten by his father but shows no symptoms like his mother. He and Tammy are rescued by a helicopter and taken to France for safety. But in the final moments of the film, we see the infected ravaging around the Eiffel Tower, suggesting that the virus has spread to mainland Europe. This implies that Andy and Tammy may be alive and have spread the virus.However, there is hope that they did not survive. Notably, they are not listed in the cast of 28 Years Later. Unless the filmmakers are keeping their involvement a secret, it seems likely that they are not part of the sequel. 28 Years Later appears to follow the storylines of the original film.If they do make an appearance in the sequel, it would be a controversial turn of events. We can only hope that they face the consequences of their selfish ways and are held accountable for the chaos they caused.For more on this and other pop culture topics, like The Tab on Facebook.
