The order here is simply release order; the questions worth answering are whether the 2007 sequel still counts and how the two new films fit together.
Release order, and there is nothing to untangle. The only real decision is whether to bother with 28 Weeks Later, and the answer is that it still counts but nothing later leans on it, so it is the one film you can move or drop without breaking anything.
Seen some of these already? Tap the circles to tick them off. The full list below fills in as you go.
Where it starts, and the only film the rest genuinely depends on. Everything after it is written as though you have seen this one and nothing else.
A different director and a mostly new cast, set months after the first film. Still part of the story, but the 2025 film summarises what you need from it in its opening minutes.
Boyle and Garland back on the same material, nearly three decades on, with Britain sealed off. It restates the setup from scratch, so a gap in your memory of the first two costs you nothing.
Filmed alongside the previous one and carrying straight on from its last scene. Watching it without the film before it would be like starting a film halfway through.
Then what? A third film was greenlit in December 2025 with Alex Garland's script already written, Danny Boyle expected to direct and Cillian Murphy set to feature. Nothing about it is dated. The two comic runs are optional and cover the space between the first two films; they change nothing on screen.
A suggested way in, not an official one. The full list is below: tick anything off in either place.
Your progress is saved on this device automatically. The code below takes a copy out and puts it back. Moving a whole list onto a device that has nothing on it yet is part of the subscription.
The code holds only this franchise. The link opens the tracker with your progress already filled in, good for showing someone where you're at. The image is a picture you can keep anywhere: scan the code on it with a phone, or drag the file back in below.
Every franchise you have touched, in one code.
Scan it with another device's camera, or paste the code in below. It never leaves your browser.
This reads the progress stored inside the picture, so nothing has to be retyped. If the image has been through a messaging app it may have been re-encoded and lost that: scan the code on it instead, or copy the code printed along the bottom.
Takes either kind of code. A single franchise code replaces that franchise, on any device. An everything code merges by default, so nothing you have ticked on this device is lost. Putting a whole list onto a device that has nothing on it yet is the part an account pays for.
Read only. This never changes what you have saved, and nothing leaves your browser. The code has to be their code for this same franchise: codes do not carry a name, so one from somewhere else may not be recognised as wrong.
Your email is confirmed and your account is ready. Everything you tick is saved on this device, as it always was.

Your SagaList account.
Nothing else happens until you follow the link. If it has not arrived in a few minutes, look in your spam folder and search for SagaList. It is sent from a no-reply address on our own domain, so there is nothing to reply to.
Both addresses get an email: the new one to confirm it, and the old one so that nobody can move your account without you knowing. Nothing changes until you follow the link.
Signing out leaves everything you have ticked on this device exactly where it is. It only stops it syncing.
This removes your account, your email address, and the progress stored on our side. It cannot be undone and we cannot get it back for you.
This stops your subscription too. It is cancelled at Stripe in the same step, so nothing more is charged. The rest of this month is not refunded and you will not be able to use it, so cancel from Manage or cancel and delete later if you would rather keep it.
