While the horror genre boasts many iconic films from various decades, few have made as lasting an impact as “Rosemary’s Baby”. Roman Polanski’s 1968 adaptation of Ira Levin’s 1967 novel has not only left a significant mark on its area but also on the broader history of cinema.

The picture follows Rosemary, a young woman who becomes pregnant and begins to suspect that her husband and neighbors are part of a cult with sinister intentions for her unborn child. As her suspicions prove correct, she realizes she’s only scratched the surface of the tortures they have planned for her.

As with many classic horror flicks, “Rosemary’s Baby” has seen its story expand over time. Most recently, a prequel titled “Apartment 7A” premiered on Paramount+ on September 27, garnering widespread acclaim. However, this is not the only continuation of the original production. Here’s a look at all the sequels and remakes that followed Polanski’s masterpiece!

Complete list of sequels and remakes to ‘Rosemary’s Baby’

  • Look What’s Happened to Rosemary’s Baby (1976)

This 1976 television movie was the first direct sequel to “Rosemary’s Baby,” following an adult Andrew/Adrian as he attempts to fulfill his destiny as the Antichrist, spanning from age 8 to the birth of his own child. Widely disapproved by both critics and audiences, the film quickly faded into oblivion within a year of its release.

  • Rosemary’s Baby (miniseries, 2014)

Decades later, a third adaptation of Rosemary’s tale premiered in 2014 as a two-part, four-hour miniseries for NBC, combining Ira Levin’s original novel with its 1997 sequel, “Son of Rosemary”. Starring Zoe Saldana as the lead character, the miniseries failed to win over critics, who criticized the production for being unnecessarily stretched to fill two two-hour slots.

  • XX (2017)

Beyond Roman Polanski’s universe, the acclaimed 2017 horror anthology film “XX” features a segment titled “Her Only Living Son,” directed by Karyn Kusama. This installment acts as an unofficial sequel to “Rosemary’s Baby,” exploring the life of the creature born to the protagonist as he approaches his 18th birthday.
