The teaser concluded by hinting at a major reveal on January 7th.
Now that January 7th has arrived, the announcement has been made. It’s not the of Stranger Things, but the complete lineup of Netflix’s planned 2026 releases. While extensive, the list contains a new series that appears poised to become Netflix’s next major success. View the full teaser below:
published Netflix’s forthcoming schedule, with certain projects such as One Piece Season 2 and The Night Agent Season 3 receiving specific premiere dates, while others are merely slated for the general 2026 timeframe. Concealed among both fresh and returning series, plus three separate ventures from Stranger Things‘ creators, lies a modest project titled The Body.
The Body, hailing from actress-turned-showrunner Quinn Shephard of Hulu’s Under the Bridge, was initially revealed in October 2025, though this marks the first indication of its potential arrival. The synopsis states: “A dance-team initiation gone awry causes a group of misbehaving Catholic schoolgirls to start experiencing prophetic visions, triggering mass hysteria throughout their community.”
The cast of young performers has already been revealed, featuring The Pitt’s Jackson Kelly, ex-Disney Channel star Sofia Wylie, and numerous emerging actors. Reality television personality and TikTok influencer Gabby Windey will make her screen acting debut as Coach Miller. While the series is categorized as a “coming-of-age drama,” the description strongly suggests supernatural elements. Though Under the Bridge flew under the radar, and series often disappear amid Netflix’s crowded catalog, incorporating supernatural aspects into Quinn Shephard’s repertoire could render this among 2026’s most fascinating offerings, regardless of its premiere date.
