Star Trek star Zoe Saldana is taking the lead in NBC’s new miniseries version of Ira Levin’s classic horror novel, Rosemary’s Baby.

The updated version, scripted by Scott Abbott sees Saldana’s Rosemary, a young wife and would-be mother move with her husband into a Paris apartment that has a dark past. After finally getting pregnant, she becomes increasingly suspicious that both her husband and their mysterious neighbours have ulterior motives about the future of her child.

“Zoe has proven that she is one of our most gifted actresses, and we think she has the perfect combination of spirit and gravitas to take on the title role from Ira Levin’s infamous novel,” said NBC’s Quinn Taylor. “With Zoe leading the cast under the direction of Agnieszka Holland, this reimagined event miniseries is off to a great start.”
