Barack and Michelle Obama have unveiled a slate of projects in development for Netflix, a year after the former president and first lady signed a deal with the streaming platform.
The Obamas’ production company, Higher Ground Productions, has announced a total of seven films and series that Barack Obama said will entertain but also “educate, connect and inspire us all”.
Higher Ground is producing a feature film on Frederick Douglass, adapted from David W. Blight’s Pulitzer Prize-winning biography.
It is also planning an adaptation of The New York Times Overlooked obituary column, about deaths unreported by the paper.
