Netflix announces release date for teen psychodrama ‘The Body’

Netflix has announced the release date for ‘The Body’, an eight-episode teen psychodrama scheduled to premiere on November 11. Created and directed by Quinn Shephard, the series is described as a “raunchy teen psychodrama with a dash of Catholic horror.”

The plot centers on a group of Catholic school girls whose prophetic visions trigger mass hysteria in their town following a dance-team initiation gone wrong. Shephard, who serves as showrunner, noted that the project is inspired by 1990s and Y2K-era teen movies and erotic thrillers, as well as themes from ‘The Crucible’ and the Salem witch trials.

The cast includes Kristina Bogic, Sara Boustany, Geena Meszaros, Nnamdi Asomugha, Louisa Krause, Shirley Chen, Jackson Kelly, Sofia Wylie, and Gabby Windey. Executive producers include Peter Chernin, Amy Israel, Josh Stern, Riley Keough, Gina Gammell, and Sacha Ben Harroche.
