Apartment 7A

Debuting on the Paramount+ streaming network in 2024 and positioned as a "prequel" to Rosemary's Baby, Apartment 7A's tagline proclaims “Rosemary was not the first.” That's of course a known known – as Rosemary's direct predecessor, 7A's protagonist Terry Gionoffrio was a central figure in Levin's 1967 novel, and its nearly-unvarying 1968 filming. (Though the latter did serve to narrow Terry's scope in some material ways.)

As Ira Levin's son Nicholas discusses in a new afterword to Levin's later Son of Rosemary, Terry appears to have been intended as an important foil to Rosemary. So central was Terry in fact, she's the culminating image in Rosemary's protracted "dream" sequence. (That dream image – of Terry sitting inside the Pope's tannis-charm ring – was purportedly omitted from the '68 movie due only to an inability to realize it on film.)

Apartment 7A takes its name from the Castevet's place of residence, and stars Julia Garner as Terry, and Dianne Wiest as Minnie Castevet.
