But “Swarm,” which began streaming Friday on Prime Video, is not about Beyoncé — not really, anyway. It’s about Dre.
Fishback was offered few details about her character beyond the fact that Dre was “emotionally stunted.” As a result, she couldn’t approach the role the way she typically would — by journaling and trying to get to know the character psychologically. “I had to make sense of [the character] physically — and be present,” she explained.Fishback said, noting that Nabers and Glover trusted her to bring her own artistry to the project.
The writer’s room also included Malia Obama — the eldest daughter of former president Barack Obama — credited here as Malia Ann. The former first daughter co-wrote an installment that sheds light on Dre’s traumatic backstory.Beyoncé parallels notwithstanding, the writers had plenty to draw on amid their own ranks. “I created this show with someone who has his own swarm of people around him who do very insanely weird and funny and scary things to try to get close to him,” Nabers said.
Viewers can “project whoever they want onto the role of the pop star in our world,” said Nabers, noting that Ni’jah is rarely shown on screen. “We don’t really see her for a reason because she is a feeling — she’s supposed to represent something that we all kind of understand and know at a distance.
