Paramount+ is focused on the prospective release of Apartment 7A, the latest iteration of the epic Rosemary’s Baby franchise, which initially kicked off in 1968 with the original movie. Set on the novel series of the same title created by Ira Levin, the upcoming movie is the fourth movie of the franchise and acts as a prequel to the original film.
The psychological thriller was released in 1979, and the new movie will delve into the same house featured in the original. Apartment 7A will be set in 1965 New York and center around a young dancer who rents an apartment from an elderly couple. Starring Julia Garner, the movie will feature Dianne West as Margaux “Minnie” Castevet and focus on what happened in the apartment before Rosemary moved in.
The movie recently released its first-look image, giving fans a look into the elevator, also featured in Rosemary’s Baby. The film features a stellar cast apart from Garner and West and will be released sometime in Fall 2024.
