The Swarm (2023) is a gripping science fiction thriller that throws humanity into a pulse-pounding battle for survival against a mysterious intelligence rising from the deep ocean.

Strange and deadly events begin to unfold across the world’s seas — from aggressive marine life attacking vessels to unexplained catastrophes — hinting at a calculated force striking back at humankind for its environmental destruction. In response, an international team of scientists embarks on a perilous deep-sea mission to uncover the truth and stop an existential threat that challenges everything we thought we knew about nature and intelligence.

The series features a talented ensemble cast, including Cécile de France as marine biologist Dr. Cécile Roche, Alexander Karim as Dr. Sigur Johanson, and Leonie Benesch as Charlie Wagner, alongside Joshua Odjick, Takuya Kimura, Krista Kosonen, and Barbara Sukowa, each bringing depth and urgency to a story where humanity’s future hangs in the balance.

Adapted from the acclaimed novel by Frank Schätzing and produced with one of the largest budgets in German television history, The Swarm combines sweeping visuals, ecological dread, and sophisticated storytelling to create an unforgettable apocalypse-on-the-horizon experience.
