A24 Unveils Full Backrooms Trailer, Sets May 29 Theatrical Release

The rollout signals a faithful analog-horror approach scaled from YouTube to theaters.

Overview

  • A24 released the first full Backrooms trailer on Tuesday, confirming a nationwide theatrical debut on May 29, 2026.
  • The official loglines point to a strange doorway in a furniture showroom and a therapist who enters an otherworldly maze to find a missing patient.
  • Kane Parsons, the 20-year-old creator of the viral YouTube series, directs his feature debut with a trailer that leans into liminal spaces and analog, found-footage textures.
  • The ensemble features Chiwetel Ejiofor, Renate Reinsve, Mark Duplass, Finn Bennett, Lukita Maxwell, and Avan Jogia.
  • Production is backed by A24 with Atomic Monster, Chernin Entertainment, and 21 Laps, and the marketing nods to the original 4chan “noclip” text to reassure fans of the source lore.
