Catholic School Dance Team Wreaks Havoc in Netflix's First Trailer for Psychological Drama 'The Body'
The haunting coming-of-age series is set to premiere on the streamer in November.
"Can a person really contact the devil? How do you know he's around?"
That's the question that opens the trailer for Netflix's upcoming Catholic school series The Body.
The broadcaster released the first trailer for the teen drama Dushanbe. The eight-episode show, which follows a dance troupe at a Catholic school, was created by Kevin Shepherd.
The creator said the show is a love letter to 90s and Y2K teen movies like Carrie and Jennifer's Body. The Traitors alumni Christina Bogic, Sara Boustani, Gina Meszaros, Nnamdi Asomgha, Louisa Krauss, Shirley Chen, Jackson Kelly, Sophia Wiley and Gabi Windy star in the series.
Netflix has used artificial intelligence in about 300 titles, but the Busan-based executive says "the human touch is critical."

Monday's trailer features haunting music in a deluge of debauchery, dancing and suspected demonic possession. The Body's logline reads, "After a dance team initiation goes awry, a group of misbehaving Catholic schoolgirls begin having prophetic visions that cause widespread hysteria in their town."
Shepherd previously told Netflix's Tudum that she's "always been interested in the idea of being a girl as a religious experience." He added: "This story is definitely my way of putting a playful spin on all of my teenage nightmares. In fact, I'd describe the show as bittersweet camp. A moody teen psychodrama with Catholic horror."
Kyra Pearce, Fallen Pearce, Marcel Ruiz, Orlando Norman, Ashley Madkoh, Mattel Foster, Kyle Ambrosick, Anna Tierney, Chloe Langnam, Sarah Abbott, Emily Roman, Michela Lucy, Bella Nospiel, Julia Low and Christian Solomon are other actors in this movie.
Shephard serves as host and directs the first episode. Executive producers are Peter Chernin, Amy Israel and Josh Stern for North Road. Riley Cave, Gina Gammel and Sasha Ben Harosh for Felix Kolpa; And Blair Brard
The eight-episode series will air on Netflix from November 11.
