The first trailer for Netflix's The Body promises sex, drugs, secrets, and the Devil at Catholic school
The series comes from Quinn Shephard, creator of 2024's true crime series Under the Bridge .
The upcoming Netflix series The Body blends together high school hormones, Catholic guilt, and mean girls with elements of drugs, superstition, and perhaps a hint of demonic possession. The trailer showcases this unholy mix as a female-centric coming-of-age drama filled with buried secrets and hidden desires, all set against the backdrop of rivalries at a Catholic school dance team.
Created by actor-turned-filmmaker Quinn Shephard, The Body is portrayed as a "playful spin" on Shephard's own painful teenage experiences, aiming to provide relief for a teen self. The series is described as gritty camp, merging raunchy teen psychodrama with a touch of Catholic horror. The trailer reveals the cast members, including Kristina Bogic, Sara Boustany, Sofia Wylie, Geena Meszaros, Shirley Chen, and Gabby Windey, transitioning from their Catholic school uniforms to provocative religious costumes for a night of wild, drug-infused revelry that takes a disastrous turn.
Despite the secrecy that binds them, the pressure forces the girls to reveal their deepest sexual secrets, act out during mass, and even question whether their friend might be possessed by the Devil, all searching for answers through an online search. With influences drawn from a variety of female-led high school stories like Carrie, Jennifer's Body, Heavenly Creatures, Mean Girls, and even a sprinkle of The Crucible, The Body is set to premiere on Netflix on November 11.
