Billie has made her acting debut as a cult leader offering a slightly unnerving therapy session.

Prime Video has dropped the clip from Donald Glover and Janine Nabers’ buzzworthy show Swarm.

Swarm, which follows a young woman named Dre (played by Judas and the Black Messiah‘s Dominique Fishback) whose obsession with pop star Ni’Jah leads to her going on a killing spree across the US, is a hypnotic, thrilling, satirical examination of toxic stan culture.

As a kind of follow-up to Glover’s Atlanta, it has a stacked cast – including Malia Obama, Paris Jackson, Rickey Thompson, Chloe Bailey, Damson Idris, Nirine S. Brown, Rory Culkin, Kiersey Clemons, and Byron Bowers – along with several surprise celeb appearances.

The Grammy-winning musician makes her surprise acting debut in episode four, titled Running Scared, notes Harper’s Bazaar, where Dre encounters a group of mysterious young women living on a casual commune in the woods.

Ahead of the show’s March 17 premiere, Eilish posted a series of behind-the-scenes pics:

Have a sneak peek at the scene:

Although The Guardian rated the show three stars out of five, saying that Glover’s “Beyoncé-inspired serial killer satire is cold and dull”, it’s at least a must-try series.

The trailer, yes:

Swarm is available to stream now on Prime Video.
