The power couple joined the streaming giant through their Higher Ground Productions company and will helm all sort of content. The two will be going behind the camera to create and produce “a diverse mix of content, including the potential for scripted series, unscripted series, docu-series, documentaries and features,” according to Netflix. 

Michelle and Barack are equally excited about their new venture with Netflix. 

“One of the simple joys of our time in public service was getting to meet so many fascinating people from all walks of life, and to help them share their experiences with a wider audience,” Obama said in a statement. “That’s why Michelle and I are so excited to partner with Netflix—we hope to cultivate and curate the talented, inspiring, creative voices who are able to promote greater empathy and understanding between peoples, and help them share their stories with the entire world.”

The excitement of standing behind meaningful content was echoed in Michelle’s statement.

“Barack and I have always believed in the power of storytelling to inspire us, to make us think differently about the world around us, and to help us open our minds and hearts to others,” she said. “Netflix’s unparalleled service is a natural fit for the kinds of stories we want to share, and we look forward to starting this exciting new partnership.”

Ted Sarandos, chief content officer of Netflix said in a statement, “Barack and Michelle Obama are among the world’s most respected and highly recognized public figures and are uniquely positioned to discover and highlight stories of people who make a difference in their communities and strive to change the world for the better. We are incredibly proud they have chosen to make Netflix the home for their formidable storytelling abilities.”

54-year-old Michelle took to social media Sunday to announce the news that she will be releasing a memoir, titled Becoming, during 2018.

Michelle wrote, “writing Becoming has been a deeply personal experience. It has allowed me, for the very first time, the space to honestly reflect on the unexpected trajectory of my life. In this book, I talk about my roots and how a little girl from the South Side of Chicago found her voice and developed the strength to use it to empower others. I hope my journey inspires readers to find the courage to become whoever they aspire to be. I can’t wait to share my story.”

In a statement by her publisher Penguin Random House made to People, the memoir is described as “an unusually intimate reckoning from a woman of soul and substance who has steadily defied expectations — and whose story inspires us to do the same.”

This won’t be Michelle first book; in 2012 she published the book American Grown to promote healthy eating in America.

Just last year the 44th POTUS and his leading lady inked an agreement with Penguin Random House that according to some reports is believed to be worth more than $65 million.

Showtime is getting right down and animated with its 10, half-hour episodes about POTUS. The series chronicles the “tru-ish misadventures” of Donald Trump. With his family and advisors beside him, viewers get a behind-the-scenes look at the life of the President.

The show “examines the quintessentially Trumpian details of the presidency and his most important relationships, and no one is safe – from his close family and confidants to key political figures from both parties and members of the media,” the network said.

The series that will deconstruct White House life under the 45th President of the United States was inspired by Trump’s character on Colbert’s Late Show.

Serving alongside Colbert as executive producer is Late Show executive producer Chris Licht who will also serve as the series’ show runner.
