Overview
- Horror outlet Dread Central reported Sunday that Backrooms 2 is in development and that creator-director Kane Parsons is set to return, a claim later picked up by Polygon and Comicbook.com.
- Those reports say an official announcement is imminent but no formal confirmation or press release has yet come from A24.
- Parsons has publicly signaled that he wants to expand Backrooms into a series and told Variety in May that he has contractual coverage and is “definitely not done with Backrooms.”
- The original Backrooms film translated Parsons’ viral YouTube shorts into a major hit, grossing roughly $400 million worldwide and earning strong critical praise, which industry observers say underpins studio interest in sequels.
- Key details remain unknown, including release timing, writers, producers and whether principal cast will return, though a June industry tip linked Parsons with producer Osgood Perkins as a possible collaborator.
