From the world first imagined by Danny Boyle and Alex Garland over two decades ago comes the next chapter in the 28 Years Later saga: 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple. Directed by Nia DaCosta and written by Garland, the film continues the story of survivors Spike (Alfie Williams) and Dr. Kelson (Ralph Fiennes) as they navigate a world forever changed by infection and human cruelty.
In this new installment, Spike’s encounter with Jimmy Crystal (Jack O’Connell) and his unsettling group of misfits takes a dark turn, revealing that in the world of The Bone Temple, the infected are no longer the only threat to humanity. Dr. Kelson finds himself in a shocking new relationship with consequences that could alter the fate of the world, while Spike struggles to escape a nightmare he never imagined. Erin Kellyman and Chi Lewis-Parry also star in the film, adding depth to this tense, post-apocalyptic narrative.
The original 28 Days Later reinvented horror with fast-moving infected and a social commentary that resonated beyond the screen. Over two decades later, The Bone Temple builds on that legacy, exploring the ways humans themselves can become the most terrifying force in a world of uncertainty. With DaCosta’s direction and Garland’s writing, the film promises to deliver both emotional and intellectual suspense, anchored by strong performances from a stellar cast.
Set to arrive in Philippine cinemas on January 14, 2026, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple is distributed locally by Columbia Pictures, the Philippine arm of Sony Pictures Releasing International.
