Rosemary’s Baby is far from your typical franchise. It comprises of the original film, a sequel, a miniseries remake, a spiritual sequel, and an official prequel. Sound confusing? Don’t worry, we’ll help you figure it out. For starters, here’s the list of films in their release date order.
- Rosemary’s Baby (1968)

Rosemary’s Baby in Chronological Order
- Apartment 7A
- Rosemary’s Baby
- Look What’s Happened to Rosemary’s Baby – or – Her Only Living Son from XX
Here’s a closer look at every entry in the franchise in chronological order.
Apartment 7A
This Paramount+ original movie serves as a prequel to Rosemary’s Baby and centers around a young dancer named Terry Gionoffrio (Julia Garner) who rents out a New York apartment from the seemingly helpful elderly Castevet couple. Little does she know the tradeoff is that they’re trying to use her as a breeding vessel to birth the antichrist.
Rosemary’s Baby
The original film sits second chronologically. In the movie, the young Woodhouse couple moves into a New York City apartment building. Near the beginning of the film, their neighbor Terry (from Apartment 7A) kills herself, which brings the Woodhouses closer to their new neighbors…. the Castevets. Seeing an opportunity, the Castevets now deem Rosemary to be the next host for the antichrist.
Look What’s Happened to Rosemary’s Baby
In this sequel, Rosemary’s baby (named Andrew) is now a young boy growing up and learning that he's the son of Satan. The made-for-TV movie was panned by critics and audiences and has since fallen into complete obscurity and is almost impossible to find anymore.
Her Only Living Son from XX
XX was a 2017 anthology horror film. One of the movie’s segments was titled Her Only Living Son and is a (somewhat unofficial) fanmade sequel to Rosemary’s Baby. In the film, Rosemary’s son is now a teenager displaying disturbing and violent behavior. But because he has the devil on his side, everyone around him praises his actions and doesn’t intervene.
In 2017, filmmaker Karyn Kusama told Screen Crush her inspiration for creating the sequel. “What if a character like Rosemary had been able to escape those circumstances initially,” she said, “and what would have been falling in her path if that was the case?”
Rosemary’s Baby (miniseries)
In 2014, Rosemary’s Baby was remade as a miniseries with Zoe Saldana taking on the role of Rosemary. Instead of being set in NYC, the series took place in Paris and had a much more modern, stylistic aesthetic. The miniseries received mixed reviews with some praising the new TV drama, while others felt it had lost the horror of the original.
