    As the summer heat waves roll in, new shows premiering on Netflix, Apple TV Plus and other streaming services offer the perfect excuse to stay cool indoors this first weekend of August.

    Danny Boyle and Alex Garland return to the rage-virus universe they built two decades ago with a third installment that’s more unsettling folk horror than standard zombie fare. The action shifts to an isolated island off the coast of England, where a community clings to survival.

    A 12-year-old boy named Spike (Alfie Williams) sets out with his dad for the mainland. But what starts as a rite of passage turns into a grim odyssey through what’s left of Britain — and what’s evolved there.
