Netflix has dropped the first look at its new teen psychodrama The Body, which is set to be released in November.
The streamer dropped a slew of stills from the eight-episode show, which follows a dance troupe at a Catholic school. Quinn Shephard created the series, which she says is a love letter to ‘90s and Y2K teen movies like Carrie and Jennifer’s Body. Kristina Bogic, Sara Boustany, Geena Meszaros, Nnamdi Asomugha, Louisa Krause, Shirley Chen, Jackson Kelly, Sofia Wylie and The Traitors alum Gabby Windey star in the series.
The Body’s logline reads, “After a dance-team initiation gone wrong, a group of badly behaved Catholic school girls begin having prophetic visions that set off mass hysteria in their town.”
Shephard told Netflix’s Tudum that she’s “always been interested in the idea of girlhood as a religious experience.” She added, “This story is definitely my way of putting a playful spin on all the nightmares of my own teenage-dom. Tonally, I would describe the show as gritty camp. It’s a raunchy teen psychodrama with a dash of Catholic horror.”
