Starring Dominique Fishback, Chloe Bailey and Damson Idris
“ Donald Glover had an idea: What if his next show—after the surreal, boundary-pushing series Atlanta—told the story of a young woman who was obsessed with a pop star? He knew a thing or two about that, having risen to music stardom with his rap alter ego Childish Gambino and witnessing the ways in which some fans can push their parasocial relationships with musicians to extremes.
He pitched the idea to Janine Nabers, an Atlanta writer and producer who happened to be from Houston—home to music icons like Lizzo, Megan Thee Stallion, and of course, Beyoncé. Nabers took to the idea, and they set off to create Swarm, the forthcoming new series on Amazon’s Prime Video. “
“We just thought it’d be fun to make a post-truth Piano Teacher mixed with The King of Comedy,” Glover tells VF, referencing the 2001 Michael Haneke drama and the 1982 Martin Scorsese classic. Take those two films, blend them with Glover’s and Nabers’s own artistic sensibilities, filter them through the contemporary pop landscape, and out comes Swarm.
What the f*** does that even mean?
There's this young woman and she's obsessed with a pop star
Exciting new additions aside, Nabers notes that the show’s crew is comprised mostly of people who worked on Atlanta—to the point where Swarm feels like “a sister to Atlanta.” Swarm lives in “the same tonal space” as Glover’s Emmy-winning, genre-bending FX series.
