Jana continued, “Having Viola Davis play Michelle Obama is a dream come true, and we couldn’t be luckier to have her extraordinary talent to help launch this series.”
In addition to playing Michelle, Viola is executive producing alongside Julius Tennon, Cathy Schulman, Jeff Gaspin, and Brad Kaplan. Author Aaron Cooley, the creator of the series, is also serving as a writer and executive producer.
