What BBN said about it
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorI watched the trailer for Netflix's new show The Body twice this morning, and I screamed both times, in my kitchen, holding a spatula.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorIt's a high school horror series, premiering November eleventh, about a Catholic school dance team where a party and an initiation take a turn.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorA dance team initiation. Nothing has ever gone wrong at one of those.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThe creator is Quinn Shephard, who made Not Okay and Under the Bridge, and the Hollywood Reporter is calling it a raunchy psychodrama.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorI love that.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorI was on a pep squad for exactly one week. We were all asked to leave.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorAsked to leave. Hank, that's the most frightening thing I've heard today.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorNext story, and it's a good one.
