Nia DaCosta’s 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple is available now on Digital ahead of its physical media release on April 21, and now we’ve got a streaming premiere date.
28 Years Later: The Bone Temple will be streaming on Netflix March 31, 2026.
In the continuation of the epic story, the infected are no longer the greatest threat to survival — the inhumanity of the survivors can be stranger and more terrifying. Dr. Kelson finds himself in a shocking new relationship — with consequences that could change the world — and Spike’s encounter with Jimmy becomes a nightmare he can’t escape.
Ralph Fiennes, Jack O’Connell, Alfie Williams, Erin Kellyman, and Chi Lewis-Parry star in The Bone Temple, with Cillian Murphy reprising his 28 Days Later role.
Meagan wrote in her rave review for Bloody Disgusting, “Director Nia DaCosta takes the reins with fearless gusto, making this entry wholly her own while pushing the overarching story and its richly layered themes into darker, grislier, funnier, and more poignant territory.”
The big question at this point is whether or not the 28 Years Later trilogy will be finished with the planned third installment. Teased at the end of The Bone Temple, Cillian Murphy is expected to star in 28 Years Later 3, but the third and final installment in the saga has been called into question after this year’s box office underperformance of The Bone Temple.
The Bone Temple made just $57.8 million at the worldwide box office, a far cry from the $151.3 million worldwide total of 28 Years Later. The reported production budget for The Bone Temple was $63 million, so it’ll have to be a massive hit on streaming, Digital and physical media in order for Sony to move forward with the planned final installment in this new trilogy.
