The 28 Years Later franchise is back on the big screen in less than two months with Nia DaCosta’s (Candyman) 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, a sequel to this year’s 28 Years Later. It’s the second installment in a planned trilogy, and it’s releasing in theaters January 16, 2026.

The titular bone temple is a primary location in Danny Boyle’s trilogy-starter, and the title of DaCosta’s sequel makes it clear we’ll returning to that location. The Bone Temple will focus on Jack O’Connell’s “Sir Jimmy Crystal” and his merry band of evil-doers, with young hero Spike (Alfie Williams) also returning. Here’s the brand new official synopsis from Sony:
Expanding upon the world created by Danny Boyle and Alex Garland in 28 Years Later but turning that world on its head – Nia DaCosta directs 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple.
In a continuation of the epic story, Dr. Kelson (Ralph Fiennes) finds himself in a shocking new relationship – with consequences that could change the world as they know it – and Spike’s (Alfie Williams) encounter with Jimmy Crystal (Jack O’Connell) becomes a nightmare he can’t escape. In the world of The Bone Temple, the infected are no longer the greatest threat to survival – the inhumanity of the survivors can be stranger and more terrifying.
Cillian Murphy’s character from 28 Days Later is also expected to make a brief appearance in The Bone Temple, with the sequel’s script once again being written by Alex Garland.
