The First Lady will be co-produced by Showtime and Lionsgate TV along with Welle Entertainment (Otherhood), Gaspin Media (LA’s Finest), and JuVee Productions.
The first season will be focusing on Eleanor Roosevelt, Betty Ford and Michelle Obama.
The series will peel back the curtain on the personal and political lives of America’s most iconic First Ladies.
The series is written by Cooley from an idea that originated with Cathy Schulman, who was inspired by Cooley’s spec script about Lady Bird Johnson.
