A linear premiere will follow on HBO on September 26, 2022, at 8 p.m. The first-person perspective thriller, directed by Kane Parsons, places the viewer in an endless maze of interconnected rooms, where time is distorted and danger lurks around every corner. Starring an ensemble cast featuring Chiwetel Ejiofor, Renate Reinsve, Mark Duplass, Finn Bennett, and Lukita Maxwell, Backrooms earned over $400 million worldwide upon its theatrical release in May 2022. The movie has since become A24's highest-grossing release ever, surpassing even Martyrs to achieve this feat.",
