Created by Janine Nabers and Donald Glover (Atlanta), Swarm is a dark and bloody deep dive into fan culture. It follows Dre (Dominique Fishback), a young woman whose obsession with a Beyoncé stand-in takes a dark turn after the unexpected death of a loved one.
Artful, daring, and legitimately scary, Swarm is one of the bolder shows to come to streaming in a while. It doesn’t hold back, not with the commentary nor with the blood, which can be too much for some viewers, but if you were thrilled by films like Misery and The King of Comedy, then this mind-blowing take on celebrity mania will certainly have you hooked.
"With Fishback a riveting constant, well-deployed gallows humor, and more to the story than meets the eye, the buzz around Swarm is worth hearing out."
— Ben Travers
"The series' satire is all the more heartbreaking and compulsively watchable because of Fishback's dedication to every facet of Dre."
— Nick Allen
Murder. Sex. Music. This is not a work of fiction.
