The Body, Netflix's 'Raunchy Teen Psychodrama With A Dash Of Catholic Horror,' Sets Fall Premiere — First Look
A group of "badly behaved Catholic school girls begin having prophetic visions that set off mass hysteria" in Netflix's The Body. Get a haunting first look.
Netflix's upcoming horror series "The Body" blends Mean Girls with the psychological thriller Carrie, set against the backdrop of Catholic school life. Created by Quinn Shephard, the drama centers on a group of misbehaving teenage girls who begin receiving prophetic visions after a disastrous dance-team initiation. The show is described as gritty camp, a raunchy teen psychodrama with a dash of Catholic horror, and a love letter to 90s and Y2K teen movies.
Shephard, who serves as showrunner, draws inspiration from films like Carrie, Jennifer's Body, Heavenly Creatures, and Mean Girls, as well as her fascination with The Crucible and Salem Witch Trials. The series stars Kristina Bogic as Anya Butler and Sara Boustany as Elise Zakaria, among others. It explores themes of self-discovery, identity, and the challenges of growing up in a faith-based community, with a tone that balances humor and horror.
