Bodies Netflix 2023: cast of crime drama series with Stephen Graham and Shira Haas, release date, and trailer

Bodies, a new mystery crime series and Netflix original show, follows four detectives investigating the same crime in four different timelines more than a century apart. 

Somehow the same body has turned up at the same place in London at four different points in time - the 1890s, 1940s, present day, and 2050s.

As the detectives work to uncover the killer, they begin to suspect that this crime has happened before, and that mysterious powerful forces are at work to derail their investigation.

There are other similarities too, as an enigmatic political leader, Elias Mannix, played by Stephen Graham, is a central figure close to each of the murders - and in each timeline he seems to grow more powerful.

Somehow the four detectives must find a way to work together across time on the same investigation, and avert a disaster that could change the entire world.
