Netflix drops all of 'The Body' on Nov. 11
The eight-episode series follows a Catholic school dance team whose members begin seeing visions; it comes from creator Quinn Shephard.
Netflix releases *The Body* (*El cuerpo* in Spanish) on Wednesday, Nov. 11, and all eight episodes arrive at once. Quinn Shephard created and writes the series, serves as showrunner and directed the pilot.
Netflix lists it as a teen drama and mystery rated TV-MA. It opens with a botched Halloween initiation for a dance team, whose members become entangled in Catholic guilt, forbidden desire and ghostly visions. On its editorial site, Netflix describes Catholic school students who begin having prophetic visions, setting off mass hysteria in their town.
Kristina Bogic leads the cast as Anya Butler, alongside Sara Boustany, Geena Meszaros, Nnamdi Asomugha (as Father Franklin), Louisa Krause, Shirley Chen, Jackson Kelly and Sofia Wylie. Gabby Windey, Ashley Madekwe and Marcel Ruiz have recurring roles.
For Shephard, it is her most personal story yet, and its central idea fits in one line: "we don't ever stop coming of age."
The trailer runs 1 minute 52 seconds. With all eight episodes out together, viewers can binge the series starting Wednesday.
