The following contains spoilers for A24's Bodies Bodies Bodies, now playing in theaters.
A24's Gen-Z slasher-comedy Bodies Bodies Bodies has crept into theaters, bringing the studio's freshest nightmare to audiences across the country. The film has received widespread acclaim for its shocking twists, razor-sharp wit, and the sheer fun to be had in its premise. But on top of that, praise has been given to the film's stellar cast of relatively young actors, led by Borat and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3's Maria Bakalova (Bee) and Dear Evan Hansen's Amandla Stenberg (Sophie). The cast also features Marvel Cinematic Universe alum Lee Pace as Greg and Saturday Night Live's Pete Davidson as Dave. Yet, among the heavy hitters, Rachel Sennott has stood out as a clear fan favorite.
Sennott plays Alice, a tragic yet oblivious member of Bodies Bodies Bodies' friend group. When Sophie brings her new girlfriend Bee to a get-together at her old friend Dave's estate, things quickly go off the rails. As tensions rise, Alice tries in vain to keep the peace and the attention of her 40-year-old date, Greg. When Dave gets found with his throat slashed, fear and paranoia lead to Bee instinctively killing a suspicious and aggressive Greg. Distraught, Alice begins to lose faith in her friends, a fact exacerbated by a race to accuse each other of Dave's murder. She is ultimately the fourth to die, accidentally killed while Sophie attempts to wrestle away a pistol from one of the other girls. This tragic death is only more heartbreaking upon the revelation that Dave's death was a foolish, self-inflicted accident. Despite the character's pitiful end, Senott brought impressive comedic timing and delivery to her role, which will have many fans wondering where else they can find her work.

But Danielle's shiva experience becomes complicated when her ex-girlfriend and present sugar daddy arrive to sit shiva with her and her family. The film received praise from critics for its writing, premise and depiction of bisexuality in Jewish culture. It is currently available to stream on HBO Max.

Of all HBO's upcoming projects, one of the most highly anticipated is The Idol.

Though very little has come out about the plot, it's confirmed that the series will explore the complexities and dangers of the modern-day music industry and feature a cult of some kind. Sennott's role in the series has not been disclosed, but after her rise as the comedic heart of Bodies Bodies Bodies, she's sure to be involved in a meaningful and exciting capacity. Viewers will be able to see Sennott in The Idol later in 2022.
