A dance team initiation spirals into chaos in the new Netflix horror series The Body, which dropped its first trailer on October 13. Created by Quinn Shephard — best known for the Emmy-nominated Under the Bridge, the eight-episode series is described as a "playful spin" on Shephard’s own teenage nightmares.
The story centers on a group of misbehaving Catholic school girls whose ritual goes horribly wrong, triggering prophetic visions that spark mass hysteria across their town. The tone? Gritty camp. A raunchy teen psychodrama with a dash of Catholic horror. Shephard called it a tribute to her formative influences: Carrie, Jennifer’s Body, Heavenly Creatures, Mean Girls, and Arthur Miller’s The Crucible.
Shephard praised the cast, calling them "my children, my coven." She highlighted Kristina Bogic’s transformation. Her first time using an American accent, as especially striking. "It was really amazing to get to see all the girls blossom," she said.
