Who are the Catholic schoolgirls wreaking unholy chaos in 'The Body'?
Netflix’s The Body, from Quinn Shephard—where Catholic horror, supernatural visions, and coming-of-age chaos collide—has its lineup; want to know who’s in it?
A hazing ritual for a high school dance team spins out in the opening chapter of The Body, and the aftermath isn’t just detention or a suspension. A clique of Catholic schoolgirls starts seeing things — prophetic flashes they can’t explain — and those visions begin to spread beyond the gym and the chapel, infecting classmates, parents and church leaders with panic. What begins as private nightmares curdles into town‑wide hysteria.
Director Quinn Shephard steers the eight-episode teen psychological drama with a campy Catholic-horror streak, nodding to ’90s/Y2K cult touchstones like Carrie and Jennifer’s Body. Expect locker-room politics, social pressure and questions of faith and identity filtered through something supernatural — and increasingly sinister.
The series premieres November 11, 2026 on Netflix.
