Kane Parsons, the director of the 2022 film Backrooms, is reportedly in talks to direct a sequel titled Backrooms 2 for A24, according to an exclusive report from Dread Central. While A24 has not officially confirmed the project, the report suggests the studio may announce it soon. At this time, no release date, cast, or plot details have been revealed. Backrooms was based on a popular found footage horror video originally posted by Parsons when he was just 16 years old on YouTube, where it garnered nearly 80 million views before being adapted into a feature film.
Parsons previously hinted that the Backrooms story was designed to have potential for future projects, leaving the door open for a sequel. The original Backrooms film was directed by Parsons for A24 and became a notable success in the horror genre, particularly for its low-budget, found-footage style that resonated with audiences. The film's premise revolved around a mysterious, endless maze of empty rooms, often associated with internet horror lore.
Parsons has also worked with Osgood Perkins, a filmmaker known for his work in the horror genre, including co-directing the film Longlegs. If Backrooms 2 is confirmed, it would mark Parsons’ next major project after the success of the first film. The potential sequel would be significant for both Parsons and A24, as it would represent a continuation of a story that has already captured the attention of horror fans worldwide. Until an official announcement is made, however, the details of Backrooms 2 remain speculative.
