Development

On October 2nd, 2021, a teaser trailer was released and on October 26th, 2021, the official trailer was released and the original release date was March 7th, 2022. Fans were a bit annoyed that it releases in 3 months. Green then later announced its been pushed forward to January 7th, 2022 and said that was his fault on his part. On December 11th, 2021, Green revealed the protagonist's name is Jack. Part I was released to StoryFire for free on January 7th, 2022. On February 27th, 2022, Green confirmed that the main story will only have three seasons.

On April 4th, 2022, Green announced a spin-off series focusing on the faction, M.E.G., in The Backrooms, providing more lore about the dimension and how the Entities are woven into the story.

"The main 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 for this." [2]

On April 4th, 2022, along with the announcement of a spin-off, another spin-off was confirmed. Green tweeted that this one will take place two years after the events of the main story.
