The first-look images for Apartment 7A have been unveiled, showing Julia Garner as Terry Gionoffrio — a role previously played by Victoria Vetri. The upcoming psychological thriller, directed by Natalie Erika James (Relic), is a prequel to Roman Polanski’s 1968 horror classic Rosemary’s Baby.
Terry was first introduced in Rosemary’s Baby, a recovering drug addict whom the titular character met in a basement laundry room. Shortly after, Rosemary Woodhouse found Terry dead due to an apparent suicide. Terry is said to have jumped from the seventh-floor apartment.
Though the character’s story has not been fully fleshed out in the film, audiences will get to witness all the happenings that led to Terry’s death once Apartment 7A hits Paramount+ on September 27. You can check out the first-look photos down below, courtesy of Vanity Fair.
What is Apartment 7A about?
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.”
Rated R for “some violent content and drug use,” Apartment 7A also stars Dianne Wiest (I Care a Lot) as Margaux “Minnie” Castevet, Kevin McNally (Valkyrie) as Roman Castevet, Amy Leeson (Rules of the Game) as Rosemary, and Scott Hume as Guy Woodhouse. The rest of the cast includes Jim Sturgess, Marli Siu, Rosy McEwen, Andrew Buchan, and Kobna Holdbrook-Smith.
Apartment 7A is produced by John Krasinski, Allyson Seeger, Michael Bay, Andrew Form, and Brad Fuller, while Vicki Dee Rock and Alexa Ginsburg serve as executive producers. The script was co-written by James, Christian White, and Skylar James.
