28 Years Later: The Bone Temple is the fourth film in the Rage Virus apocalypse saga, first introduced in the 2002 film 28 Days Later. Following the critical and commercial success of 28 Years Later in 2025, The Bone Temple became one of the most anticipated movies of 2026.
28 Years Later: 5 Biggest Changes To The Lore
There are some big introductions to the lore in Danny Boyle's latest zombie sequel, 28 Years Later.
After a long wait, the movie has finally been released in the theaters. However, some fans might want to wait for the movie to arrive for streaming. Here's what we know about the streaming release date for 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple.
28 Years Later: The Bone Temple May Arrive On Streaming In April
We've Yet Get An Official Release Date, Though
Sony hasn’t made an official announcement yet, but given the pattern the studios usually follow, we can expect 28 Years Later: The Bone Templ e to arrive on streaming sometime in April 2026. 28 Years Later, which premiered in theaters on June 20, 2025, was made available to stream on September 20, 2025. That was a 92-day gap, so you can expect 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple getting the same treatment. And if they follow an exactly similar release pattern, the release date should be April 18, to be exact.
That said, this is only a prediction based on past trends, and nothing can be said with certainty about a movie’s streaming release. When a movie performs extremely well on the big screen, the studio extends its theatrical run, pushing its streaming release further. On the flip side, the average performance may bring it to your small screens way earlier than you imagine.

If you can’t wait, you can either rush to the theaters before the movie leaves the big screen or wait for it to arrive on PVOD instead. The digital release of a film is usually a little earlier than its streaming release. For instance, 28 Years Later dropped in theaters on June 20, 2025, and was available on PVOD on July 29, exactly thirty-nine days later.
Also, let's not forget that 28 Years Later had a successful theatrical run, so The Bone Temple will have to perform exceptionally well to maintain that 39-day gap. If the film doesn't perform well at the box office (which is highly unlikely), we might see it on PVOD a little earlier. Regardless, even though you'll have to wait until April to see The Bone Temple on streaming, the movie may get a digital release somewhere between late February and mid-March.
28 Years Later: The Bone Temple Will Stream On Netflix
When 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple arrives on PVOD, it will be available to rent or buy on multiple platforms. That includes Apple TV, Amazon Prime, Fandango at Home, and, of course, YouTube. You can purchase the movie on any of these platforms for a price tag of somewhere between $19.99 to $29.99, or spend around $14.99 to rent the film for a limited time.
For streaming, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple will be available exclusively on Netflix. Sony Pictures Entertainment has a three-month deal with Netflix, meaning almost every studio release will arrive on Netflix three months after it debuts in theaters.
28 Years Later: The Bone Temple Is No. 1 At The Box Office
The Film Has Grossed Over $30 Million At The Box Office Worldwide
That's the biggest question of all — how is 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple doing at the box office? Well, let's just say that the latest film is the biggest hit of 2026 so far. As per Box Office Mojo, the film has grossed over $30 million worldwide, with the domestic collection being over $15 million.
Honestly, those numbers are enough motivation for the studio to keep the movie in theaters for as long as they can. Of course, there's some criticism around the film's ending, but most fans have been appreciating the film for its direction, story, and, of course, the incredible performances from the cast. Keeping the box office performance aside, The Bone Temple is also reviewing better than 2025's 28 Years Later on IMDb. While the 2025 film has an overall rating of 6.6, the latest release has a rating of 7.8.
