Latest News About The Backrooms Movie

Here’s the latest available on The Backrooms movie as of now.

Direct answer

• A24's film adaptation of The Backrooms has been in development with multiple reports over the past couple of years, and recent coverage points to a production timeline with high-profile names attached, but official details (including release date and full cast) have varied across sources. A widely cited update (from late 2024 to 2025) notes that the project is moving forward with leadership from Kane Parsons (the creator behind the viral Backrooms concept) and writing by Roberto Patino, with reported casting considerations for several notable actors. However, concrete, authoritative confirmations and a fixed release date have remained elusive in scattered reporting.[1][2][3]
