News 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple Gets a Second Chance on Streaming in March Please do enter the Bone Temple when this movie debuts on Netflix later this month By Matthew Byrd | Published on March 17, 2026 Screenshot: Sony Pictures Comment 0 Share New Share Screenshot: Sony Pictures 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple is coming to Netflix (US) on March 31, which should be great news for those who did not see the movie in theaters but maybe, probably, almost certainly will fall in love with it once they do see it. If you find yourself thinking “Wait, wasn’t Bone Temple just released?” you’ll be happy to know you aren’t entirely wrong. Released on January 16, Bone Temple is making its streaming debut fairly early even by modern standards. Part of its early debut can be attributed to the distribution deal Sony Pictures has with Netflix. That deal allows Sony Pictures films to move to Netflix after they have passed their theatrical and video on-demand windows. In this case, it seems that the movie’s hastened streaming debut can also be attributed to the film’s tragically short theatrical run. Though one tries not to put too much stock in these things, Bone Temple certainly underperformed at the box office according to every traditional metric. Its shortcomings can be attributed to a few things (a perhaps questionable title, mixed reactions to 28 Years Later, the absurdly high cost of going to see movies in theaters), but the result is the same. Not many people saw it. And that is a shame. The Bone Temple is kind of a masterpiece. Director Nia DaCosta has proven she’s one of the most exciting directorial talents today in films like Hedda and Little Woods, but The Bone Temple allows her to gleefully explore bizarre and incredible new territories. It’s a film that feels like it is very much part of the franchise it belongs to, yet is so very much its own thing that it feels hollow to merely refer to it as a sequel. There is a Romero-esque quality to the way it balances horror, humor, gore, and social themes. It also features one of Ralph Fiennes’ greatest performances, which is not a statement I would dare to make unless it comes from the heart. So please do enter The Bone Temple if you get a chance. We so rarely get films so chaotically ambitious, and it would be a shame if it doesn’t get its due before it becomes a centerpiece of future “underrated gems of the 2020s” articles.
