Overview
- Multiple outlets reported Sunday that horror site Dread Central says an official announcement is imminent and that Kane Parsons has signed on to direct Backrooms 2.
- Parsons previously told Variety that he always saw Backrooms as a series and that he remains contractually tied to the property, a comment that industry coverage cites as supporting the sequel prospects.
- The original Backrooms was a breakout hit for A24, grossing about $394.1 million worldwide on an estimated $10 million budget and earning strong critical response.
- No independent press release from A24 or comment from Parsons’ representatives has been published yet, and details such as plot, cast returns, and a production schedule remain unconfirmed.
- Industry reports show Parsons has other projects in development, including work with producer Osgood Perkins, which could affect timing and the studio’s broader plans for the property.
