Kane Parsons Outlines Sequel Approach for The Backrooms
Speaking on The Kyle Buchanan Show, the director said a follow-up would expand the idea rather than continue it in a straight line.
Kane Parsons, director of The Backrooms, has described how he would handle a sequel if he made one, while stopping short of confirming that a second film is in production. He spoke in an interview on The Kyle Buchanan Show, according to pcgamer.com.
Parsons said he would double down on the strengths he sees as universally recognised about the core idea. He added that he would also revisit a few places in the first film that he felt did not accurately speak to the cultural core of Backrooms.
He framed a possible follow-up as an expanding image rather than a line, and as a different branch on the tree rather than a linear continuation of the first film.
Parsons also said other characters, whether new or drawn from his YouTube series, are still lying in wait and will probably appear in the near future. He did not confirm whether a sequel is in the works.
