Trailer for the Roku series dropped last month

The official trailer for Swimming With Sharks dropped last month and highlighted the tension in the series. In the clip, the protagonist, Lou, is seen being introduced into the workplace as an intern. The clip depicts a The Devil Wears Prada-esque environment when the interns are told:

"What you think means nothing, what you feel means nothing. You are an intern."

The trailer then progresses with scenes of infidelity, interpersonal turmoil, and violence, exposing what really goes on in Hollywood behind big glass doors and buildings. It promises to explore the violence and scandal of the glitz and glamor of Hollywood with a dark narrative.

It is produced by Lionsgate Television with Chris Cowles, Liz Destro, Stephen Israel, Jay Cohen, and Dana Brunetti serving as executive producers.
