‘28 Years Later: The Bone Temple’ Set for January 2026 Release

The sequel to the upcoming zombie thriller ‘28 Years Later’ was filmed back-to-back and will release just six months after the first installment.

‘28 Years Later: The Bone Temple,’ directed by Nia DaCosta, will hit theaters on January 16, 2026, during the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend.
The sequel follows ‘28 Years Later,’ directed by Danny Boyle, which is set to premiere on June 20, 2025, as the first part of a planned trilogy.
Both films were shot back-to-back, with Alex Garland returning as the screenwriter and Danny Boyle serving as a producer for the trilogy.
The story explores a world three decades after the Rage Virus outbreak, focusing on survivors living on a quarantined island connected to the mainland by a heavily guarded causeway.
The cast includes Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jodie Comer, Ralph Fiennes, and Cillian Murphy, who serves as an executive producer and may reprise his role from the original 2002 film.
