About ‘The Body’
“After a dance-team initiation goes wrong, a group of badly behaved Catholic school girls begin having prophetic visions that set off mass hysteria in their town,” as per the synopsis of the Netflix series. While the cast has been revealed, the release date has yet to be marked on the calendar. Talking about the inspirations, Shepard revealed that movies like ‘Mean Girls,’ ‘Jennifer’s Body,’ ‘Heavenly Creatures,’ and ‘Carrie’ have contributed to the shaping of the ‘raunchy teen drama with a dash of Catholic horror,’ but with a grounded lens. Giving the viewers a view of her personal project, the 30-year-old revealed that the story shows a ritual that goes wrong, leading to a mass frenzy.
