THE SWARM

"Episode 3" - (9:00-10:00 p.m. ET) (Content Rating TBD) (HDTV)

THE VIDEO MESSAGE - While Venice suffers an unprecedented plague of jellyfish, molecular biologist Dr. Roche (Cécile de France) discovers that a mutated bacterium is the cause of a growing number of deaths on the coasts. On Vancouver Island, Leon (Joshua Odjick) also suspects a mutation after an apparently new and exceptionally large and fast-growing species of mussels block the wheel of a cargo ship. Shocked by the news that the Juno research ship has sunk, Charlie (Leonie Benesch) sets off for Kiel. They watch footage of the completely destroyed Juno with their institute director Prof. Katharina Lehmann (Barbara Sukowa) and PhD student Rahim Amir (Eidin Jalali) (#103). The episode was directed by Barbara Eder and written by Steven Lally, Marissa Lestrade, Chris Lunt, and Michael A. Walker. Original airdate 9/26/2023.
