Malia Obama made her screenwriting debut in the new FX series “Swarm” by writing the critically acclaimed episode “Girl Bye.”
Creators Donald Glover and Janine Nabers made headlines in 2022 when they hired former First Daughter as a writer for their FX series.
In a new interview with Entertainment Tonight, Nabers said that the writing staff is pleased with Obama’s impact.
“[‘Girl, Bye’] is probably one of the wildest episodes,” Nabers said. “I think it’s going to surprise a lot of people. It’s pretty dope. I’m really proud of it.”
The horror-satire focuses on Dre (Dominque Fishback), a fan obsessed with global pop superstar Ni’Jah. Dre spends her days ‘defending’ the artist on social media and her nights listening to Ni’jah’s music, dancing to Ni’Jah’s music, or otherwise letting Ni’Jah’s music take her away from life’s hardships.
All seven episodes of Swarm are now streaming on Prime Video. Have you watched it yet? #BWLM💕
