Janine Nabers is living her childhood dream. As the showrunner and cocreator of the Emmy-nominated Prime Video series “Swarm,” she’s manifesting the kinds of TV shows she would have savored as a self-professed “Black nerd” growing up in Texas.
“I’ve always loved TV,” Nabers said in TheWrap’s Bold Steps presented by Johnnie Walker. “But there weren’t a lot of TV shows that represented us. So to be able to do it now as an adult is a lifelong dream of mine.”
The original series “Swarm,” which Nabers cocreated with Donald Glover, tells the story of Dre (Dominique Fishback), a young woman who has an eerie obsession with a pop star.
