We chat with Swarm star ChloeBailey about how her music career influenced her take on the material, the suprising film she had to watch before production started, and why Dominique Fishback's performance is so moving to her:
Chloe Bailey is a pop star whose career was shepherded by Beyoncé, but in Swarm, she's obsessed with a singer that's eerily similar to the woman who has championed her career. Swarm hails from the minds of Donald Glover and Janine Nabers. Nabers has worked on UnREAL and Watchmen, and she previously collaborated with Glover on Atlanta, another series that skewers the music industry.
Chloe Bailey: Well, I need the stans and so does my sister. The ones who are the ride-or-dies and fighting for us and defending us and buying the albums and things like that. If it wasn't for them, I wouldn't be here. Chloe Bailey: Well, when I first got the offer to have a meeting with Donald [Glover], the casting director [said to] watch The Piano Teacher and be refreshed on Atlanta. I've always loved Atlanta; I just thought it was so genius and skilled with the writing. And I've never seen The Piano Teacher, so I really had no expectations about what it was about. I just thought it was a French film about a piano teacher. Man, was I mistaken.
I can't believe The Piano Teacher was an influence. Without getting into spoiler territory, what can you tease about Marissa's role throughout the rest of this season?
