‘The Body’ Creator on the Dance Team’s Sexuality, What Happened to Grace and Whether God Is Real
According to Variety, the Netflix series 'The Body' depicts mass hysteria within a Catholic school dance team. Creator Quinn Shephard explains that the show is intended to mimic faith, featuring both believers and skeptics. The plot follows Grace, who falls into a coma after a Halloween party involving drug use. Her teammates, attempting to cover up their involvement, frame the incident as a spiritual miracle, leading the town to worship Grace. In the season finale, Grace awakens and whispers, 'I'm God.' Shephard emphasizes that the show does not provide definitive answers regarding the existence of God, but rather explores the role of faith in the lives of young girls and themes of sexuality.
