Billie Eilish\u00a0just made her surprise acting debut with a previously unannounced role in the wildly captivating Prime Video series,\u00a0Swarm<\/em>, from co-creators\u00a0Donald Glover\u00a0and showrunner Janine Nabers.<\/p>\n The singer, who appears in episode four, is just one of many unexpected supporting players who cross paths with\u00a0Dominique Fishback.\u00a0<\/p>\n Now streaming, the series follows a young woman named Dre (Fishback) whose obsession with one of the world\u2019s biggest pop stars as well as an unexpected trauma involving her sister, Marissa (Chloe Bailey), sets her on a dark journey across the country.\u00a0<\/p>\n As Dre continues on her increasingly violent path, she encounters characters played by Damson Idris (Marissa\u2019s boyfriend, Khalid) as well as Bryron Bowers,\u00a0Kiersey Clemons,\u00a0Paris Jackson, internet personality\u00a0Rickey Thompson,\u00a0Rory Culkin\u00a0and\u00a0American Auto\u00a0breakout X Mayo.\u00a0<\/p>\n That also includes Eilish, who plays Eva, a cult leader to white women played by the likes of Kate Lyn Sheil (House of Cards<\/em>,\u00a0The Idol<\/em>) and others, who\u2019ve all gathered together to attend the Bonnaroo and Arts Festival, which is being headlined by Ni\u2019Jah.<\/p>\n Without giving too much away, Eva\u2019s encounter with Dre leads to a clashing of personalities before ending with\u00a0bloody results.<\/p>\n While Eilish has appeared in\u00a0several music documentaries\u00a0and has voiced a version of herself for the Simpsons\u2019 short film,\u00a0When Billie Met Lisa<\/em>,\u00a0Swarm<\/em>\u00a0marks the first time the singer is appearing in a fully scripted role.\u00a0<\/p>\n The idea to add her to the ensemble came from casting director Carmen Cuba, who knew that the singer wanted to get into acting. For Glover, casting Eilish, especially in addition to Bailey and Jackson,\u00a0also provided an opportunity to play up the meta-commentary about fandoms and followers.\u00a0<\/p>\n When asked what\u00a0Swarm<\/em>\u00a0might be saying about these stans, like the Beyhive, given the show\u2019s parallels to\u00a0Beyonc\u00e9, Nabers told ET, \u201cI think you can intellectualize it and say that it\u2019s a critique of fandom, of course.\u201d<\/p>\n![\"Swarm\"](\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/billie_swarm_primevideo.jpg\" "\\"Billie")
