On Thursday, Eilish uploaded a clip from episode four on her Instagram account as a teaser for her presence. The dialogue between Eilish's character and Dre regarding milk that has spilled on the carpet in the excerpt quickly turns ominous.

Carmen Cuba, the casting director, reportedly hand-selected Eilish for the part, according to "Swarm" co-creator Janine Nabers.

Cuba offered Eilish when Nabers stated that they were looking for someone to portray the role. Although Eilish had no prior acting experience, Nabers was eventually persuaded by the singer's performance at the audition.

The 19-year-old artist is an appropriate option for the role in a series that explores the shadowy side of society because she has been open about her difficult relationship with fame and the internet.
