The Swarm is a science fiction/ecological thriller adapted from Frank Schätzing's 2004 novel. The show was directed by Barbara Eder, Luke Watson, and Philipp Stölzl, and premiered in February, 2023.
The show follows four international scientists who begin to witness strange marine phenomenons that arise in tandem. They realize that these events are the result of an unknown intelligence defending the ocean, which has been historically exploited by humans.
Not to be confused with the series ''Series/{{Swarm}}'' or the 1978 movie ''Film/TheSwarm''.

* TheBigBad: Initially an anonymous intelligence with an unknown agenda who seem to be attacking humanity randomly with mutated or mind-controlled marine life. Later revealed to be [[spoiler:the Yrr, an intelligent microscopic species seeking to push humanity from the coast]].
* GlobalWarming: The climate catastrophe is wrought by [[spoiler:the Yrr]], but the Arctic and Antarctic ice melting is the reason they are seeking retribution.
* HiveMind: The researchers learn that the [[spoiler:titular "swarm", or the Yrr,]] functions in this way, to the point where they can even [[spoiler:merge with and control other marine animals]].
