The Body, a Netflix drama blending Y2K nostalgia and biblical horror

The Body transports the viewer to 2004, at the heart of a Catholic high school where a dance troupe becomes entangled in supernatural events. The show blends Y2K teen classics, religious dramas and erotic thrillers, all spiced with a touch of the supernatural. Created, written and starring Quinn Shephard, who previously delivered the teen drama Blame (2018), the series draws inspiration from the vibe of Mean Girls while shifting it into a darker atmosphere. Netflix's social-media push highlighted its appeal to nostalgic millennials and fans of psychological horror. According to What's on Netflix, the series is among the biggest releases of the year on the platform.
