The long-awaited undead saga continues as Sony Pictures has dropped the first official trailer for 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, the chilling follow-up to the apocalyptic franchise that redefined zombie horror. Directed by Nia DaCosta and penned by Alex Garland—the mind behind the original 28 Days Later script—this next chapter promises to be the most psychologically twisted and morally complex yet.
Set nearly three decades after the original outbreak, The Bone Temple expands the bleak universe with an entirely new kind of horror. Ralph Fiennes takes the lead as Dr. Kelson, a haunted scientist whose mysterious new relationship might just hold the key—or the curse—to humanity’s next phase. Meanwhile, Spike, played by Alfie Williams, faces the terrifying aftermath of his encounter with Jimmy Crystal, the enigmatic figure revealed in the final moments of 28 Years Later.
But it’s no longer just the infected who pose the biggest threat. In The Bone Temple, survivors are evolving—and not necessarily in good ways. As alliances fracture, cult-like factions emerge, and power becomes more important than people, the film shifts its focus to the darker side of human nature. “The infected aren’t the scariest thing anymore,” the trailer warns—and after a few shots of twisted rituals and morally broken survivors, you’ll believe it.
Joining the cast are Jack O'Connell, Erin Kellyman, and Chi Lewis-Parry, rounding out an ensemble that brings grit, mystery, and emotional stakes to a decaying world already on its last legs. With DaCosta’s sharp direction and Garland’s cerebral storytelling, expect a horror-thriller that doesn’t just scare—it lingers.
28 Years Later: The Bone Temple hits theaters on January 16, 2026, and if the trailer is anything to go by, we’re in for a harrowing, thought-provoking descent into humanity’s darkest corners.
