Netflix is apparently in talks for new TV shows from Barack and Michelle Obama
Jesus, Netflix really isn’t kidding about its ongoing near-manic attempts to boost its public profile, huh? The New York Times reports today that the streaming service is reportedly in “advanced talks” with former President Barack Obama about creating content for its library, with a number of potential shows apparently up on the formerly presidential block. Obama’s programs—which he’d produce in association with his wife, Michelle—would reportedly focus, unsurprisingly, on inspirational stories, or possibly on issues-driven debate, rather than America’s current and tenuous political state.
