Boyle Confirms 28 Years Later III Production Next Year

Director Danny Boyle has confirmed that production on the third and final film in the "28 Years Later" trilogy is planned for next year, following a delay caused by location constraints. The filmmaker stated that while enthusiasm for the project remains high, the team ran out of the narrow filming window required for a specific area of Britain.

Boyle explained the situation during a recent interview, attributing the hold to practical logistics rather than creative or commercial concerns. He confirmed that writer Alex Garland has completed the screenplay for the film. This update follows a December report that Sony Pictures was officially moving forward with the project, titled "28 Years Later III," with Garland returning to write.

The planned trilogy began with 2025's "28 Years Later," directed by Boyle, and continued with the sequel "28 Years Later: The Bone Temple," directed by Nia DaCosta and released in early 2026. While the first film was a commercial success, the sequel underperformed at the global box office, leading to questions about the trilogy's completion. Despite this, Boyle has consistently expressed his desire to return to direct the concluding chapter.
