![]() Weird, right? Well, as it turns out, this was all based on real events. As two staff members watch her leave the scene through the backdoor, one of them says “You know who that was? The chick from Love and Basketball”. Everyone stares and screams in horror as she runs away from the party. ![]() While hallucinating that she’s eating a juicy plum, Dre bites Ni’jah in the face. This causes her to enter a sort of trance. This one is a real doozy! Still in Episode 3, Dre makes her way to a Caché concert afterparty in which she finally has the opportunity to be face to face with Ni’jah. The news of her death goes viral, and her social media profiles are swarmed by Ni’jah haters and trolls calling her names and saying that she got what she deserved. Upon hearing Ni’jah’s songs about being cheated on by her husband and learning of Khalid’s own betrayals, Marissa has a panic attack and takes her own life. Marissa, on the other hand, doesn’t deal very well with the new release. Still, she feels a lot better when Ni’jah drops a surprise album on that same night. Almost as obsessed with Marissa as she is with Ni’jah, Dre is unsurprisingly heartbroken by her sister’s choices. She also decides to leave the apartment she shares with Dre. Incensed, Marissa ditches Dre to go to Atlanta with her boyfriend, Khalid ( Damson Idris). The tickets were partly supposed to be a birthday gift for Marissa, but that doesn’t do anything to help Dre’s situation. To add insult to injury, Marissa also finds out that Dre squandered her rent money on tickets for an upcoming Ni’jah concert. In Episode 1, the two women have a falling out after Dre fails to cover for Marissa at her work. ![]() The events of Swarm are kicked off by a tragedy in protagonist Dre’s ( Dominique Fishback) life: the suicide of her sister, Marissa Jackson ( Chloe Bailey).

So, is everything that happens in the show truly not fictional? No, of course not. But, at the same time, Swarm is a series about a socially awkward twenty-something that goes on a pop star-inspired killing spree after the suicide of her foster sister. A subversion of the classic “This is a work of fiction” message that appears at the end credits of movies and TV shows, the disclaimer is fitting: everything in Swarm exists as a commentary on the nature of fandom based directly on the relationship between pop diva Beyoncé and her fans. Any similarity to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events, is intentional.” This odd disclaimer appears at the beginning of all but one of the seven episodes of Swarm, Prime Video’s new psychological thriller created by Donald Glover and Janina Nabers. Editor's Note: The following contains minor spoilers from Season 1 of Swarm.“This is not a work of fiction.
