Obamas’ Sign TV Netflix Deal
(AP) -- Barack and Michelle
Obama are getting into the televi-
sion business with Monday’s an-
nouncement that they had signed a
multi-year deal with Netflix.
The former president and first
lady have formed their own pro-
duction company, Higher Ground
Productions, for the material.
Netflix said the Obamas would
make “a diverse mix of content,”
potentially including scripted and
unscripted series, documentaries
or features.
“We hope to cultivate and
curate the talented, inspiring,
creative voices who are able to
promote greater empathy and un-
derstanding between peoples, and
help them share their stories with
the wider world,” Barack Obama
said in Netflix’s announcement.
“Barack and I have always be-
lieved in the power of storytelling
to inspire us, to make us think dif-
ferently about the world around
us, and to help us open our minds
and hearts to others,” Michelle
Obama said.
The former president appeared
in January on David Letterman’s
Netflix talk show, “My Next
Guest Needs No Introduction.”
Obama is said to be friendly with
Ted Sarandos, the Netflix chief
content officer.
