Backrooms 2: What We Know So Far

Wunderkind filmmaker Kane Parsons' feature debut Backrooms became a runaway hit, breaking records and becoming A24's highest-grossing movie. The film's box-office performance and Parsons' youthful ascent — he became the youngest director to top the domestic box office — have left a sequel feeling almost inevitable given the rich lore behind his take on the Backrooms creepypasta.

A second Backrooms movie is already in active development, though it has not yet been officially greenlit. Parsons has signaled he will likely return to direct and has expressed interest in treating the concept as an anthology or series while continuing work on related YouTube projects.

High-profile collaborators from the first film, including producers such as Osgood Perkins and James Wan and the Blumhouse marketing effort led by Jason Blum, may figure into how a sequel is mounted and promoted.
