The sequel, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, is slated for a 2026 release. However, if you still haven’t caught up with the first one, here’s everything you need to know about 28 Years Later’s streaming release date and where you can watch it online.
When is 28 Years Later Coming to Streaming
28 Years Later will start streaming on Netflix from September 20. That said, the movie was available to rent way before it hit streaming platforms. 28 Years Later was available to buy/rent starting July 29, 2025, on Amazon or Apple TV, just a month after the movie’s original release date.
28 years later, the streaming release date is almost the same as other movies of Sony Entertainment, which are released three to four months after their theatrical release. It’s still more than Superman’s unprecedented streaming release, which was available to stream just 56 days after the movie’s theatrical release.
When is 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple Releasing

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple will release in theaters on January 16, 2026. The sequel was shot back-to-back with the first movie, which is why it’s releasing just one year after its predecessor. The film will focus on the characters of Ralph Fiennes and Jack O’Connell, the latter of whom we just got a glimpse of.
A sequel to 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple is already in development, and according to Danny Boyle, Cillian Murphy might even make an appearance in it. That said, if you still haven’t watched 28 Years Later in theaters, now might be the best time to catch it on streaming.
