Apartment 7A, set in 1965, will look into what happened in the New York City apartment before the horrifying events in Rosemary’s Baby.
Per the synopsis, Apartment 7A will chronicle “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.”

The rest of the cast includes Jim Sturgess, Marli Siu, Rosy McEwen, Andrew Buchan, and Kobna Holdbrook-Smith.
