With an incredibly successful & highly profitable opening, it's no surprise a sequel is on the way. Of course, Kane Parsons has been pretty vocal about how he'd love to expand on the film on the film during the film's press tour.

But now, according to Deadline, he is now actively looking for someone to join him to write Backrooms 2.

Filmmaker and face of Backrooms Kane Parsons has made no secret on the press tour for the film about his desire to expand into a feature anthology, and that he’s taken the IP as far as possible on YouTube.

But what’s up with the sequel, this minute, right now? Especially after this weekend’s monumental success? Sources tell us that Parsons is looking for a screenwriting collaborator to work on the sequel with. That’s the state that the Backrooms sequel is in right now. So, stay tuned. Parsons’ contract for more Backrooms resides with A24, we’re told. Again, it’s super early, so no star attachments or green lights as of this time.

In Backrooms, Academy Award nominee Chiwetel Ejiofor plays Clark, a furniture store owner who discovers a portal to a strange, empty office space hidden in the back of his shop. Lukita Maxwell, Mark Duplass, and Finn Bennett also star in the A24 horror movie that’s one of the biggest horror movies of all time.

Released May 27th, the film has already smashed Box Office projections raking in an impressive $126.1 million at the time of writing. And even more impressively, this and Curry Barker's Obsession (which our own Mike Murphy - The Man Who Hates Everything- described as "probably the best horror of 2026 so far"), have managed to knock Disney's latest Star Wars film Mandalorian & Grogu off the top of the box office since their releases.
