Kane Parsons Takes the Helm for Backrooms 2, New Reports Indicate

A sequel to *Backrooms* is officially in the works, with Kane Parsons set to direct. Fans can look forward to an announcement coming soon.

The *Backrooms* phenomenon started with a haunting image of a liminal space that captivated Kane Parsons, who transformed it into a viral horror web series on YouTube. This success caught the attention of A24, leading to the creation of an indie horror film directed by Parsons himself. The film matched the web series in popularity, raking in nearly $400 million worldwide—around 40 times its production budget.

In a May interview, Parsons hinted at a sequel, stating, “Backrooms has always been planned to be more of a series that goes outside the confines of this film…I’ve got a contract, and I got a hold at my end, and that means I am definitely not done with Backrooms.” Now, it seems the sequel is progressing faster than anticipated, with reports suggesting that “an official announcement is imminent” and confirming that *Backrooms 2* will be Parsons’ next project.

In June, industry insider Jeff Sneider mentioned that Parsons was collaborating with *Backrooms* producer Osgood Perkins on a new project. At that time, details were scarce, leaving fans uncertain if this was related to a sequel or a different venture altogether. With the latest reports, it appears that a sequel is the more likely outcome.

The development plans for the sequel are expected to be revealed soon, so fans should stay tuned for official updates. While Parsons has shared insights about the ending of *Backrooms*, there’s still a wealth of lore to explore in future installments, along with many unanswered questions. Hopefully, the sequel will delve into these mysteries and expand the universe even further.
