Reception

The series received a 90% on Rotten Tomatoes and 8.2/10 on IDMb, the series taking the world by storm. Green confirmed in an interview that The Backrooms will have three seasons plus a spin-off series.

"The Backrooms series will have three seasons. I also kind of want to do a spin-off with M.E.G. consultants and interviewers documenting the Entities that roam the dimension and how they control this growing world. I really want to expand the world of the strange dimension. The three season-arc will just be the main story which is Jack's point of view of The Backrooms and the spin-off will go more deeper into the lore of the series. I've been doing my research on the Backrooms so everything can be faithful to its original material. I basically have everything fully planned out." [2]
