Halloween might be over, but Netflix isn’t finished with the horror just yet! New eight-part teen drama The Body is available to stream today, Wednesday 11 November 2026, bringing together Catholic schoolgirls, a dance-team initiation gone horribly wrong and a series of disturbing visions that leave an entire town in a panic.
Created by Quinn Shephard (Under the Bridge), the series is set in the early 2000s and follows the Lions, an all-girls Catholic school dance team whose Halloween initiation takes a terrifying turn. Following the incident, members of the group begin experiencing prophetic visions, sparking fear and mass hysteria throughout their community. As the girls struggle to understand what’s happening, their friendships, faith and secrets are put to the test.
The series draws inspiration from classic teen films including Carrie, Jennifer’s Body and Mean Girls, mixing Y2K nostalgia with psychological horror and themes of religion, sexuality and growing up. Kristina Bogic, Sara Boustany and Geena Meszaros lead the cast, alongside Sofia Wylie, Nnamdi Asomugha, Louisa Krause and Shirley Chen. Kyra Pierce and Phallon Pierce also star as Bailey and Brit Bradley, while The Traitors winner Gabby Windey plays the dance team’s coach. Riley Keough serves as an executive producer.
All eight episodes have been released together, meaning viewers can watch the entire series without waiting for weekly instalments.
For CultureCues, we’ve been waiting for The Body since those first-look images arrived, and we can’t wait to binge all eight episodes. We LOVE a good teen horror, so the fact that we’re getting one packed with Y2K nostalgia is already a big yes from us. Add in the Jennifer’s Body, Carrie and Mean Girls influences, and it’s just chef’s kiss! We’re so happy to see teen horror getting some love again, and we have a feeling this one is going to be right up our street. Now, if you’ll excuse us, we’ve got eight episodes to watch and some prayers to say. Amen, Netflix!
All eight episodes of The Body are available to stream now on Netflix.
