By the end of 28 Years Later, we see that even after going through so much hardship to save his mom, Spike failed and had to witness the death of his mother. However, unlike most people in the apocalyptic world, he got to honor his mother in the twisted ways of 28 Years Later’s universe. As the movie reached its ending, we see that Spike delivers the baby girl to his community, but Spike himself walks off alone, asking everyone not to look for him through a letter.

At the end of 28 Years Later, Spike left his dad and community behind because he was disgusted that he had cheated on his mom, and now that she is dead, he had nothing to go back to. After enduring everything he did while escorting his mum to the doctor, he had become capable of looking after himself and successfully fighting off the Rage Virus, and since he had lost all faith in his father, he is headed out to find his own life and something to look forward to.

There is a good chance that he will return in the upcoming sequel, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, but as of now, there is no certainty regarding it so let’s wait and see if there’s any update coming our way and if there is, we will let you in on it as soon as possible.
