The Trailer for Netflix's 'Bodies' Unravels the Series' Time-Bending Premise

Netflix has released the full trailer for its time-bending police procedural Bodies, in which a murder victim somehow mysteriously reappears across multiple eras.

Based on a graphic novel by Si Spencer and Dean Ormston, this seemingly impossible murder mystery is spread across four distinct time periods and features four different detectives who are all attempting to crack an eerily similar case. The trailer introduces us to DS Hasan, a detective in the Whitechapel district of London's East End in 2023. She's baffled by the discovery of a body that has no clothes, no fingerprints, and no obvious cause of death. Further complicating matters is the fact that Hasan discovers her mysterious new case has several disturbing elements in common with two previous murders in the same location --- one that took place in 1941, and another that occurred in 1890.

The one constant is a mysterious political figure, who appears to be somehow key to unraveling the mystery of a conspiracy that spans the better part of two centuries --- and who somehow knows that this murder has also happened a fourth time, in 2053.
