The Body is coming.
The series premieres on Netflix on November 11.
“Blessed are the girls with something to hide,” the tagline teases.
What Is Netflix’s The Body About?
Here’s a synopsis:
The upcoming eight-episode series is created by Quinn Shephard and follows a group of badly behaved Catholic school girls who begin having prophetic visions that set off mass hysteria in their town after a dance-team initiation goes wrong.
Who Stars in The Body?
Shephard directs the premiere and serves as showrunner for the gritty drama, starring Kristina Bogic (Anya Butler), Sara Boustany (Elise Zakaria), Geena Meszaros (Lisbeth Anderson), Nnamdi Asomugha (Father Franklin), Louisa Krause (Catherine Anderson), Shirley Chen (Maddie Delaney), Jackson Kelly (Leo Anderson), Sofia Wylie (Grace Franklin), with Gabby Windey (Coach Miller) and more.
“I’ve always been interested in the idea of girlhood as a religious experience. 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,” the creator told Tudum.
The Show Is Inspired by Carrie, Jennifer’s Body & Mean Girls
The Body is described by the creator as “a love letter to all the ’90s and Y2K teen movies and erotic thrillers” she loved growing up. “Movies like Carrie, Jennifer’s Body, Heavenly Creatures, and even Mean Girls [are all inspirations], but with a grounded lens. I was also a teen with an embarrassingly intense fixation on The Crucible and the Salem witch trials. It’s been very interesting to revisit that with the shading of our current political climate!”
“I think that the emotions of trying to figure out who you are, how to love your identity, where you align with your belief system, and wanting to be loved [don’t] ever really go away. I think that the truth is that as much as we’d like to think otherwise, we don’t ever stop coming of age.”
When Does The Body Premiere on Netflix?
The Body premieres globally on November 11, only on Netflix.
