Paramount+ has released the first trailer for Apartment 7A - Julia Garner's prequel to the classic 60s horror film Rosemary's Baby.

Set in 1965 New York City, a few years before the events of Rosemary's Baby, the upcoming film will explore what went on in the Bramford apartment building before Mia Farrow's Rosemary lived there.

Per the synopsis: Apartment 7A "explores what happened in the Bramford before Rosemary moved in. When a struggling, young dancer (Garner) 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."

Ozark star Garner takes on the lead role of struggling dancer Terry alongside Edward Scissorhands star Dianne Wiest, Across the Universe actor Jim Sturgess and Pirates of the Caribbean star Kevin McNally.

They are joined by Everything I Know About Love star Marli Siu, All the Money in the World's Andrew Buchan, Blue Jean actor Rosy McEwen and Wonka's Kobna Holdbrook-Smith in supporting roles.

As the trailer shows, Garner's Terry moves to New York in the hopes of pursuing her dream to become a dancer, but her dream is suddenly dashed when she seriously injures her foot.

After coming across the down-and-out dancer in the street, Wiest and McNally's sinister characters offer her a place to stay in the Bramford building. Things soon take a turn for the worse and Terry begins to suspect her saviours have ulterior motives for letting her stay.

"There's something wrong with these people," Terry says in the trailer. "I think something happened to the girl who lived here before me."

Apartment 7A is directed by Relic's Natalie Erika James, who serves as writer alongside Christian White and Skylar James.

Apartment 7A will be available to stream on Paramount+ Friday, September 27 in the US, while UK viewers can stream from September 28.
