Billy Eilish rooting for the bad guy.
Inside the first look at the Grammy winner’s surprise acting debut on Prime Videos Swarma blonde-haired Billie, playing some kind of intense hypnotist, snaps her fingers and gets Dre (Dominique Fishback) to change her name back from someone named Kayla. Once that’s done, Billie’s character tells her, “Tell me something you regret.”
That’s when a montage of Dre doing all sorts of dirty deeds is shown, including wiping a bloody crime scene. It seems that Dre may have more than something she is sorry.
Back in her office, Billie’s character asks Dre, “Did you hurt anyone?” When Dre answers with a yes, Billie’s character laughs and says, “Very good.”
Premiere on March 17 Swarm– co-created by Donald Glover And Jane Nabers– follows Dre whose obsession with an international pop star forces her on a dark and tortuous journey across the country. And Billie isn’t the only star expected to appear. The limited series will also be on display Chloe Bailey, Paris Jackson, Ricky Thompson And Rory Culkin.

It doesn’t take much detective work to find out that the pop star at the center of the story, named Ni’Jah and played by Nirine S. Brownhas a lot in common with Beyoncé.
After all, Swarm – the name of Ni’Jah’s cult-like fanbase – has a similar sound to the BeyHive. And let’s not forget that a clip from the series shows Dre opening a new credit card in an attempt to buy expensive concert tickets on a Ticketmaster-esque site. Apologies for the stressful flashbacks, Renaissance tour-goers.
