First Ladies Showtime TV Show Cast
The Cast of the First Ladies Anthology Series Is Truly Presidential — See Who's on Board
The cast for Showtime's First Ladies anthology series is rounding out very nicely! After it was first announced that Viola Davis will be portraying Michelle Obama in the upcoming drama series produced by Lionsgate and JuVee Productions, a few other stars have jumped on board. Gillian Anderson and Michelle Pfeiffer will be playing political icons Eleanor Roosevelt and Betty Ford, respectively, and it was just recently announced that O-T Fagbenle has signed on as Barack Obama.
While a premiere date still has yet to be revealed, the show — which was created by Aaron Cooley — will focus on the reframing of American leadership through the eyes of women who have been "at the heart of the White House." Production is expected to begin soon. See who else is on board ahead.
