Foreign Body was a 2008 webseries coproduced by former Walt Disney CEO Michael Eisner's production company Vuguru, former Walt Disney executives Dominique Bourse's and Pierre Sissmann's production company Cyber Group Studios and the internet series production company Big Fantastic, the creators of SamHas7Friends and Prom Queen (internet series). The series, which ran from May 27 through August 4, 2008, had 50 episodes of approximately 2 minutes each, with a new video posted every weekday.

The series was a prequel and promotion for the Robin Cook novel of the same name, which was released on August 5, 2008, the day after the series finale. Portions of the series shot in India, and it cost a reported $10,000 per episode to create.[1][2][3]

Plot

The core plot of Foreign Body concerns "medical tourism in India, focusing on “a group of dangerous Indian beauties” whose nursing skills will be put to some nefarious use."[1]
