About two years in the past, Donald Glover signed an total take care of Amazon Studios. And now, his first output from that deal is able to go: “Swarm,” which premieres at SXSW subsequent month.
Co-created by Glover and showrunner Janine Nabers, “Swarm” follows Dre, an obsessive younger fan of a popstar similar to Beyoncé. Over its seven episodes, the present dives into Dre’s life, fandom, and the darkish and sudden locations it leads her.
Dominique Fishback stars in “Swarm” as Dre, with Chloe Bailey enjoying Dre’s sister Marissa, and Damson Idris performs Dre’s boyfriend.
Last 12 months, Glover plugged “Swarm” as a “post-truth “Piano Teacher” combined with “The King Of Comedy.” In a phrase, yikes: meaning this collection has the potential to be essentially the most poisonous challenge about fandom because the 1982 German movie “Der Fan” (however most likely not as violent).
Or perhaps simply as violent. Watch the teaser under to get a style of what “Swarm” affords Prime Video subscribers later this 12 months. Sure sufficient, this seems to be like a darkly beguiling piece of labor from Glover & Nabers.
