Showtime has dropped the full trailer for Showtime’s forthcoming anthology drama The First Lady, starring acclaimed actresses Viola Davis, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Gillian Anderson.
The First Lady trailer, which you can check out below, highlights the stories of former First Ladies Eleanor Roosevelt, Betty Ford, and Michelle Obama as they deal with the obstacles and responsibilities as well as the consequences that came with their position.
The First Lady is created and written by Aaron Cooley from an idea that originated with Cathy Schulman, who was inspired by Cooley’s spec script about Lady Bird Johnson.
Described as “Showtime’s American version of The Crown,” The First Lady is set to peel back the curtain on the personal and political lives of America’s most iconic First Ladies.
