Julia Garner's ROSEMARY'S BABY Prequel APARTMENT 7A Is Coming to Paramount+ This Fall
Paramount+ is producing a Rosemary’s Baby prequel titled Apartment 7A, which stars Julia Garner, and it’s been announced that it will be released this fall ahead of Halloween.
Roman Polanski’s 1968 horror classic is based on the chilling psychological horror novel written by Ira Levin in 1967. The story revolves around Rosemary Woodhouse, a young married woman who, along with her struggling actor husband Guy, moves into a Gothic apartment building in New York City.
When Rosemary becomes pregnant, she grows increasingly paranoid about the intentions of her eccentric and overly intrusive neighbors. As unsettling events unfold, she suspects that they are part of a Satanic cult with malevolent plans for her unborn child.
Apartment 7A is set in 1965 New York City, and tells the story “prior to the legendary horror classic Rosemary’s Baby, exploring what happened in the apartment before Rosemary moved in.
“When a struggling, young dancer suffers a devastating injury, she finds herself drawn in by dark forces when a peculiar, well-connected, older couple promises her a shot at fame.”
Jeff Grossman, executive vice president of programming at Paramount+ said in a statement: “’Apartment 7A’ is the perfect way to kick off the Halloween season. Director Natalie Erika James and the prodigious creative team have crafted a chilling and clever new entry into the genre.”
The film also stars Dianne Wiest (Mayor of Kingstown), Jim Sturgess (Across the Universe) and Kevin McNally (Pirates of the Caribbean).
Supporting cast members include Marli Siu (Everything I Know About Love), Andrew Buchan (All the Money in the World), Rosy McEwen (Blue Jean) and Kobna Holdbrook-Smith (Wonka).
