Danny Boyle's zombie franchise continues with 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, and it won't be the last. From the moment Sony announced plans to revive the franchise with Boyle and writer Alex Garland, it was reported that a trilogy was envisioned. After 28 Years Later's success, The Bone Temple remained on course for a release six months later, with a third 28 Years Later officially entering development in December 2025.

The plans to continue the franchise and overall vision for the trilogy means 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple doesn't tie up the story completely. Just as 28 Years Later's ending offered a tease of what would come in the sequel, its no surprise this conclusion helps set up the third film.

With Hollywood franchises becoming more accustomed to using credits scenes to offer additional sequel teases, you may wonder if The Bone Temple has anything after the credits.

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple Does Not Have A Post-Credits Scene

Screen Rant can confirm that there is no credits scene of any kind attached to 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple. Viewers will not be treated to a surprise mid-credits scene or a final post-credits revelation of some kind. Boyle, Garland, and director Nia DaCosta let the final scene be the last we see of the infected world until the third film comes.

Despite how prevalent credits scenes have become in Hollywood, the lack of one attached to The Bone Temple is more traditional. This zombie franchise has never utilized a post-credits scene across the previous three films. Even with another one on the way, it would be somewhat surprising if Boyle had changed course and included one here.

With how the franchise has handled credits stingers in the past, some viewers may naturally assume that there isn't anything more and leave once The Bone Temple's credits start. Adding one to the second installment of a trilogy (and fourth franchise entry overall) could have increased the chance of fans not seeing something that's important for the threequel.

There's also no real reason why The Bone Temple needed a post-credits scene, as the movie's final moments do all the heavy lifting in setting up the next chapter. One of the last few scenes could have been saved for a tag sequence, but the movie made the wise decision of including all big reveals before the credits, ensuring audiences will not miss anything.

Just because there is no post-credits scene on 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, that doesn't mean you should immediately stop watching the movie. Viewing the credits is always a great way to see the names of everyone who worked hard to make a film.
