Donald Glover's project about a 'Beyonce-like figure' has been raising curiosity and rumours in Hollywood for at least two years. And while no one involved will say Knowles' name - though Glover has called out the Beyhive and co-creator and showrunner Janine Nabers has spoken about "a certain pop star from Houston" - that series is finally here.
'Swarm' stars Dominique Fishback as Dre, an emotionally stunted superfan of a singer named Ni'Jah (Nirine S. Brown), who is a bit unhealthily obsessed with her own sister, Marissa (Chloe Bailey), reports Variety.
When a fight between the sisters separates them for a night, Dre goes out to celebrate Ni'Jah's surprise album drop (clearly inspired by 'Lemonade', in which Beyonce sings about being cheated on) while Marissa discovers that she's being cheated on by her boyfriend, Khalid (Damson Idris). Unable to reach Dre for support, she dies by suicide.
