Bone Temple Expands 28 Years Later Trilogy in 2026

Exciting news for horror film fans as the sequel to the cult classic "28 Days Later," titled "28 Years Later," has a release date set for June 2025. This highly anticipated film, directed by Danny Boyle and written by Alex Garland, will explore a post-apocalyptic world nearly three decades after the initial outbreak of the rage virus. Following this, a second installment, "28 Years Later: The Bone Temple," is slated for January 16, 2026. Star Cillian Murphy will be executive producing this sequel, ensuring a connection to the original film's ethos while the new narrative unfolds. Key plot elements suggest deeper explorations into survival amidst both infected and potentially dangerous uninfected individuals, promising to be as gripping as its predecessors.

"28 Years Later" centers on a small group of survivors living in an isolated community while exploring the mainland laden with horrors. The film's plot involves a young boy searching for a doctor to aid his ailing mother against the backdrop of a world devastated by a virus that creates violent, rage-fueled infected individuals.

"28 Days Later," released in 2002, was groundbreaking in the zombie genre, introducing fast-moving infected and a new level of horror. The film established Cillian Murphy as a notable actor and has since become a classic, laying the foundation for its sequels that delve deeper into the ramifications of a pandemic on humanity.
