What is Swarm About?
On the show’s official Prime Video page, the synopsis is vague but straight to the point. “Murder. Sex. Music. This is not a work of fiction,” the description reads. But, by looking at online reviews and the gripping trailer, we have a taste of what’s to come. In essence, Swarm follows Dre, a young woman from Houston whose love for her favorite pop icon Ni’Jah is taken from normal to pure obsession. Think Beyoncé’s beehive turned horror.
Who Stars in the Show?
Dominique Fishback stars as Dre, Chloe Bailey is her best friend Marissa, and Nirine S. Brown is Ni’Jah. The show will also see rare acting performances from Paris Jackson as Hailey and pop icon herself Billie Eilish as Eva.
