Ahead of the release of 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple next month, Sony has decided to officially move forward on 28 Years Later Part 3. The third movie in the latest trilogy doesn’t yet have a title, but Alex Garland is returning to pen the script.

Cillian Murphy, who reprises his 28 Days Later role in The Bone Temple, is reportedly in talks to return for the final entry in the trilogy. The first two instalments of the sequel trilogy were filmed back-to-back, with Danny Boyle directing the first film and Candyman‘s Nia DaCosta directing the second. Though the director for this forthcoming third film hasn’t been announced, Boyle has previously expressed a desire to helm the franchise’s final instalment.

In The Bone Temple, Dr. Kelson finds himself in a shocking new relationship — with consequences that could change the world as they know it — and Spike’s encounter with Jimmy Crystal becomes a nightmare he can’t escape.

The Bone Temple releases in cinemas on January 16th, 2026.
