Backrooms doesn’t have an official greenlight from A24 yet, but a sequel is looking more and more likely. If a sequel is announced, Backrooms 2 will probably be released sometime in late 2027 or 2028. While there’s no official release date yet, with creator Kane Parsons confirming that he has had plans to expand the Backrooms story beyond one film for years, it’s only beginning to feel more and more likely that there will be a follow-up. 

“I have a lot more plans and a lot more to do,” in an interview with Polygon, Creator Kane Parsons talked about what’s next for his film. He added, "I went as far as [I] could with it at the moment. I thought it would be a much slower road to get to where things are now.”

It is the flexibility of the film that allows it to grow, yet each installment remains surprising to an audience.
