Malia Obamais getting positive feedback from the team behindSwarm, anew thriller serieson Amazon Prime Video that the former first daughter helped write.
“Some of her pitches were wild as hell, and they were just so good and so funny,“Nabers toldEntertainment Tonight. “She’s an incredible writer. She brought a lot to the table … She’s really, really dedicated to her craft.”
Obama collaborated with Nabers to write the pivotal episode “Girl, Bye,” which continues the series' story line that centers around a young woman named Dre who is obsessed with a fictional R&B star resemblingBeyoncé.
“[‘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.”

Nabers added, “I’m really excited for everyone to get to know [Obama’s] work, and the work of the [other] writers on the show.” She said the former first daughter seamlessly “folded into” the writer’s room.
Last month, Nabers also opened up about what it was like to have an Obama contribute to her and Glover’s vision.
“[The main characters of the show] are in their 20s and Malia is in her 20s, so it was really great having someone like her in the room,” Nabers toldVanity Fair.
“She’s a very professional person,” she added. “She’s an incredible writer and artist.”
