The horror sequel 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple is now available for digital purchase and rental, as of Tuesday, February 17, according to Sony Pictures Releasing. The film, a direct continuation of last year’s 28 Years Later, is priced at $19.99 to rent and $24.99 to buy on platforms including Amazon Prime and Fandango At Home.
Directed by Nia DaCosta, who took over from Danny Boyle, and written by Alex Garland – also the screenwriter for 28 Days Later and 28 Years Later – the film follows Jamie’s son, Spike (Alfie Williams), as he becomes involved with a group of survivors led by Sir Jimmy Crystal (Jack O’Connell). Simultaneously, Dr. Ian Kelson (Ralph Fiennes) uncovers a potentially devastating new development in the ongoing zombie outbreak, as reported by The Hollywood Reporter.
The release of The Bone Temple closely follows 28 Years Later, as both films were shot back-to-back in 2024, according to production details. A three-movie bundle including 28 Days Later, 28 Years Later, and 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple is available on Amazon Prime for $39.99.
Physical copies of the film, including DVD, 4K UHD Steelbook, and Blu-ray versions, will be released on April 21, 2026. These releases will include bonus features such as a director’s commentary with Nia DaCosta, a behind-the-scenes featurette titled “New Blood, The Doctor and the Devil, Beneath the Rage,” a deleted scene, and bloopers. The specific bonus content may vary depending on the retailer.
Despite its digital release, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple is not currently available on subscription-based streaming services. However, a deal between Sony Pictures and Netflix indicates the film is expected to stream on Netflix in the coming months. According to the terms of the agreement, Sony films arrive on Netflix in the “Pay 1” window, following their home media release.
Given that 28 Years Later debuted on Netflix approximately three months after its theatrical release last year, The Bone Temple is anticipated to develop into available on the streaming platform around mid-to-late April 2026. While release timing has varied for other Sony titles, the expectation remains for a Netflix debut within the next few months, as noted by multiple reports.
Netflix currently offers three subscription tiers: $7.99/month for a standard plan with advertisements, $15.49/month for ad-free standard streaming, and $24.99/month for unlimited ad-free streaming in up to 4K UHD quality.
