Backrooms Director Is Already Planning a Sequel as He Hunts for a New Screenwriter

Deadline says Backrooms director Kane Parsons is already exploring a sequel after the film’s $118 million global opening weekend.

Parsons is reportedly looking for a new screenwriting collaborator, rather than automatically reuniting with the first film’s writer.

The fast sequel push signals strong momentum for the young filmmaker, but it could also shape how broadly he’s viewed beyond one franchise.

The move may help define Parsons’ early career as a breakout horror director, or risk tying him too tightly to Backrooms.
