The infected are back, and this time, the horror is colder, crueler, and far more twisted. The newest trailer for 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple has officially dropped, giving fans a grim glimpse into the next chapter of the long-running outbreak saga. The trailer arrives alongside confirmation that the film will hit theaters on January 16, 2026, making it one of the first major horror releases of the new year.
Ralph Fiennes returns as Dr. Ian Kelson, whose obsession with studying the infected has taken a dark, morally corrupt turn. In the new film, Kelson’s experiments have escalated into something far more disturbing, pushing the boundaries of science, ethics, and humanity itself.
Meanwhile, Jack O’Connell reprises his role, now thrust deeper into violence as his character becomes entangled with a dangerous cult rising from the ashes of civilization. The trailer paints him as a chaotic force navigating a world collapsing into ritualistic madness. Images flash of torchlit chambers, bodies twisted unnaturally, and infected victims whose transformations appear more grotesque than anything seen in the franchise to date.
Unlike typical zombie-action spectacles, The Bone Temple leans heavily into dread. The trailer is filled with dim corridors, ritualistic symbols, and a tension that feels suffocating. Every frame hints that the rage-infected aren’t the only threat, humanity itself is fracturing into something unrecognizable.
This film appears to push the franchise’s mythology into deeper, darker territory, merging body horror with psychological decay. The title alone, The Bone Temple, suggests a macabre evolution: a place where survival, belief, and violence collide.
For longtime fans, the new trailer is a clear promise, this sequel intends not just to scare, but to unsettle, disturb, and challenge what we think this world has become.
With its January premiere looming, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple is shaping up to be an early contender for 2026’s most intense horror experience.
The infection returns.
The mind breaks.
And The Bone Temple rises.
