Backrooms director Kane Parsons says he’s always had a “main ending” in mind for his liminal space story, which he says would be best served as a limited series.
Parsons, while not the original creator of the viral 4Chan greentext post responsible for kicking off the Backrooms craze, is arguably its primary mouthpiece, having caught A24’s attention thanks to his wildly popular YouTube series exploring the concept.
Ever since he first shared his videos — which were almost entirely created in the 3D software Blender — he’s had an idea about how he wants his Backrooms saga to end, though it likely won’t be in theaters.
Speaking to Deadline, Parsons said there’s “always been a plan” for its ending, though it’s been challenging to “find the proper way to package that.”
“I never stop making things,” he told the outlet. “There’s a few things that I would love to talk about when I can soon. I’ve said since the very beginning that the dream scenario would be a limited series for Backrooms to get to the main ending.
“I can’t say anything, but there’s been a very set arc to the whole thing from the beginning, and I just feel absurdly excited at the idea of actually being able to follow through on all of it.”
The success of Parson’s Backrooms kicked off a broader, reactionary trend across the filmmaking landscape; almost instantly, studios started greenlighting similar creepypasta projects, with the likes of Siren Head, The Mandela Catalogue, and even The SCP Foundation nabbing big-budget adaptations with major directors and producers attached.
“You’re going to see more of this,” Parsons said of this trend. “It’s kind of inevitable, given the pressure cooker of people our age who have grown up with the internet. It’s cool to be at the front of that, but that’s just the constant tide of these things.”
