Swarm takes aim at celebrity culture and particularly fan- or stan-dom, centred around a Beyoncé-like superstar, and has been dubbed “Beyond twisted” by Rolling Stone. The series is set in the same universe as Atlanta, Glover’s critically acclaimed satire. The show stars Dominique Fishback as protagonist Dre, while Chloe Bailey plays her sister.

Eilish was seen attending the show’s premiere earlier this week at SXSW festival in Austin, Texas.
