Apartment 7A: Paramount Releases Trailer for Rosemary's Baby Prequel

As a longtime fan of the chilling tales spun by Ira Levin and the haunting world of Rosemary’s Baby, I am beyond thrilled to witness yet another chapter unfold in this eerie saga. Having grown up on the original film directed by Roman Polanski, I can’t help but feel a sense of nostalgia as I eagerly anticipate the release of Apartment 7A. With Julia Garner, who has proven her mettle in Ozark, stepping into the shoes of our protagonist Terry Gionoffrio, I am confident that this prequel will deliver the same level of suspense and terror that has made Rosemary’s Baby a classic.


Paramount has unveiled the trailer for the upcoming prequel titled “Apartment 7A,” a spin-off from the classic horror film “Rosemary’s Baby.” This new project is produced by Jon Krasinski and Michael Bay, with Julia Garner in the lead role. The movie will hit theaters on September 27th, but it will first premiere at Fantastic Fest on September 20th. Created jointly by Paramount+ and Paramount Pictures, the film delves into the terrifying experiences of a young woman who lived before Rosemary Woodhouse, as depicted in the original novel by Ira Levin. This is just one of several attempts to capitalize on the popular story, which has also inspired a sequel and a TV adaptation.

You can see the trailer below.

Following the initial film, directed by fugitive Roman Polanski, the classic horror movie “Rosemary’s Baby” further explored its storyline in the 1976 TV movie titled “What Happened to Rosemary’s Baby.” This spin-off was a hit and gave birth to a franchise centered around the title, comprising of a made-for-TV sequel from 1976, an upcoming prequel exclusive on streaming platforms (2024), and a TV series adaptation.

Here’s the official synopsis for the film:

In a nutshell, the story revolves around Terry Gionoffrio, a young, aspiring dancer with dreams of success in New York City. After a tragic accident, she finds solace in the opulent Bramford apartment building, under the care of an affluent couple. When a Broadway producer offers her another shot at stardom, it appears as though her dreams are finally materializing. However, after an incident she can’t fully recall, Terry begins to question the sacrifices she’s prepared to make for her career, as she senses that something sinister resides not just in Apartment 7A, but within the Bramford itself. Supporting characters include Marli Siu, Andrew Buchan, Rosy McEwen, and Kobna Holdbrook-Smith.
