Backrooms releases as a new A24 horror film inspired by a creepypasta image of a dim, fluorescently lit yellow room. The story follows a furniture-store owner who enters an endless hidden liminal space of hallways and rooms and tries to convince his therapist that it is real. For All Mankind returns with an alternate-history perspective focused on the Soviets reaching the moon first, shifting toward paranoid spy thriller elements involving surveillance and accusations of leaking information. A comedy series follows Pakistani American brothers who inherit a secret drug empire and later need money-laundering solutions that connect them to a casino owner. Another comedy season reunites major actors to honor a recently deceased friend and navigate relationships.
"Director-writer Kane Parsons was inspired by the creepypasta image of a dim and fluorescently lit yellow room to craft this horror. He enlisted Chiwetel Ejiofor as a furniture-store owner who stumbles into an endless hidden liminal space of hallways and rooms and manically tries to convince his therapist (Renate Reinsve) of its existence."
"This show runs it back, telling the same story from their perspective. It's more of a paranoid spy thriller with the cosmonauts surveilled by their intelligence agency and accused of leaking information to the Americans. Rhys Ifans leads an ensemble cast."
"In the wacky series' first season, Pakistani American brothers Mir (Asif Ali) and Raj (Saagar Shaikh) inherited a secret drug empire when their father died. In the second, they need somewhere to launder all their money, which brings them into casino owner Max Sugar's (Fred Armisen) inner circle."
"Sometimes all a series needs is to take its famous actors on vacation. In the second season of Tina Fey's comedy, Fey, Will Forte, and Colman Domingo reunite to honor their recently deceased friend Nick (Steve Carell) alongside his ex-wife (Kerri Kenney-Silver) and his pregnant girlfriend (Erika Henningsen)."
