Welcome back to the wasteland. Netflix officially added 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple to its U.S. library today, March 31, 2026. This fourth installment in the iconic horror franchise follows a theatrical window that began earlier this year on January 16.

Directed by Nia DaCosta and written by series creator Alex Garland, the film dives back into a world ravaged by the Rage Virus decades after the initial outbreak. The narrative centers on the high-stakes survival of characters Spike and Dr. Kelson as they navigate the desolate landscapes of the post-apocalyptic United Kingdom.

The film’s arrival on streaming marks a swift transition for Sony Pictures, which handled the movie's global theatrical distribution. Fans of the original 2002 classic will find Garland’s signature tension intact, while DaCosta brings a fresh, haunting visual perspective to the franchise's evolving lore.
