The success of Backrooms quickly raised a question among fans : is a sequel already planned? While A24 has not yet officially announced Backrooms 2, several recent statements from Kane Parsons and specialized media indicate that a sequel is indeed being considered.
According to an exclusive article published by Deadline, Kane Parsons is already working on the future of the franchise and is currently seeking a writing partner to develop a new project set in the Backrooms universe. The director has also confirmed on several occasions that he wishes to continue exploring this universe beyond the first film.
The film's commercial success makes this prospect particularly credible. From its launch, Backrooms became one of the biggest commercial successes in A24's history, naturally pushing the studio to consider new productions based on this universe.
However, Kane Parsons has also clarified that he does not simply want to reproduce the first film. In several interviews, the director explained that he wants to expand the Backrooms universe while preserving the mysterious and experimental aspect that made the original web series a success.
Another important element : the contract currently binding Kane Parsons to A24 would also cover any future Backrooms projects. Even though no filming has yet been officially announced, everything indicates that A24 and the director are already considering the sequel to this franchise that, in just a few months, has become one of the most important in recent independent horror cinema history.
At present, no release date, official synopsis, or casting news has yet been confirmed. But one thing seems certain : for Kane Parsons, the story of the Backrooms is far from over.
