Netflix's new YA drama "The Body" follows Catholic school girls at St Mark's in Halloween 2004. The story centers on Lisbeth, a homeschooled outsider trying to join the school's elite dance troupe, the Lions. When Lisbeth attends a party at an abandoned convent, an ecstasy-fuelled initiation ritual goes wrong, leaving another student comatose and the Lions experiencing hallucinations and seizures.
The show blends coming-of-age drama with camp horror elements and period detail from its 2004 setting. The cast includes Kristina Bogic and Sara Boustany as the Lions' leaders Anya and Elise, Geena Meszaros as Lisbeth, Jackson Kelly as her homeschooled brother Leo, and Sofia Wylie as Grace, a devout student who becomes central to the ritual's consequences.
