The new Netflix miniseries Boo, Bitch takes a comedic approach to high school, as Erika Vu turns into a ghost and tries to right some wrongs before she can transition. Lana Candor, who stars as Erika, told Elite Daily that she believes in paranormal occurrences. Candor said, "I have had so many weird, unexplainable instances happen to me. I believe in energy staying around after people pass. I believe in spirits and energy staying around. And that stuff is scary."
Boo, Bitch has several fascinating characters, from mean girls to Erika and her best friend Gia, who helps Erika on her journey to learn what she has to do before finding peace in the afterlife. Fans of the miniseries can find the cast and follow them on Instagram.
