Barack and Michelle Obama are in talks to produce and star in a Netflix show
The deal could give the Obamas access to an audience of 118 million Netflix subscribers. The shows could feature inspirational stories, sources familiar with the talks said. They could be about issues that took center stage during Obama’s presidency, such as health care, immigration, and climate change. Talks are still underway to decide the number of episodes and the format of the shows. Eric Schultz, a senior adviser to Barack Obama, did not confirm or deny the report. He said the Obamas "have always believed in the power of storytelling to inspire," and are exploring "new ways to help others tell and share their stories."
