What happened to Grace? That’s the question at the center of Netflix’s new psychodrama horror series “The Body,” which will premiere on the streaming service November 11, 2026.
The upcoming eight-episode series is created byQuinn Shephard.
“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,” Shephard teases.Watch the official trailer for Netflix’s “The Body” below.
The Bodyfollows “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.”
Kristina Bogic,Sara Boustany,Geena Meszaros,Nnamdi Asomugha, Louisa Krause, Shirley Chen, Jackson Kelly,Sofia Wylie, andGabby Windeystar.
Shephard calls the series “a love letter to all the ’90s and Y2K teen movies and erotic thrillers” she loved growing up. “Movies likeCarrie,Jennifer’s Body,Heavenly Creatures, and evenMean Girls[are all inspirations], but with a grounded lens,” she previews. “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!”
