About two years in the past, Donald Glover signed an general cope with 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 taking part in Dre’s sister Marissa, and Damson Idris performs Dre’s boyfriend.
Final yr, Glover plugged “Swarm” as a “post-truth “Piano Trainer” blended with “The King Of Comedy.” In a phrase, yikes: meaning this collection has the potential to be essentially the most poisonous mission about fandom for the reason that 1982 German movie “Der Fan” (however most likely not as violent).
Or possibly simply as violent. Watch the teaser beneath to get a style of what “Swarm” presents Prime Video subscribers later this yr. Positive sufficient, this seems to be like a darkly beguiling piece of labor from Glover & Nabers.
