What happens

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple is a 2026 post-apocalyptic horror film directed by Nia DaCosta and written by Alex Garland. It is the direct sequel to 28 Years Later (2025) and the fourth installment in the 28 Days Later film series. It stars Ralph Fiennes, Jack O'Connell, Alfie Williams, Erin Kellyman, and Chi Lewis-Parry. The film follows Spike as he is adopted into "Sir Lord" Jimmy Crystal's satanic cult while Dr Ian Kelson makes an unexpected connection with Samson, an Alpha Infected. In April 2024, DaCosta was reportedly in negotiations to direct a sequel to 28 Years Later, which would be the second part of a planned trilogy, with Danny Boyle, Garland, Andrew Macdonald, Peter Rice, and Bernie Bellew attached as producers. The film was shot back-to-back with its predecessor. The Bone Temple was released by Sony Pictures Releasing through its Columbia Pictures label in the United Kingdom on 13 January 2026, as part of a double bill with 28 Years Later. It received a separate release the following day and was released in the United States on 16 January. The film received critical acclaim, becoming the best-reviewed film in the series, but underperformed at the box office, grossing $58.5 million worldwide against a $63 million budget.
