First Look! Viola Davis Stuns as Michelle Obama in Showtime's "The First Lady". [WATCH]


At this point there's nothing Viola Davis can't do! Davis is set to portray our Forever #FLOTUS Michelle Obama in Showtime's new 10 episode series "The First Lady". Now, we wish the whole series was about Obama but, it's not, we have to share and that's all right. Just give us Viola Davis please!


Created by Aaron Coole and is executive produced by Cathy Schulman, here's the show's official description:

"THE FIRST LADY is a revelatory reframing of American leadership, told through the lens of the women at the heart of the White House. In the government’s East Wing, many of history’s most impactful and world-changing decisions have been hidden from view, made by America’s charismatic, complex and dynamic First Ladies. The series will peel back the curtain on the personal and political lives of three unique, enigmatic women and their families, tracing their journeys to Washington, dipping into their pasts and following them beyond the White House into their greatest moments. Through interweaving storylines so intimate it’s as if the White House walls are talking, season one focuses on the enlightening lives of Michelle Obama, Betty Ford and Eleanor Roosevelt."


Now, check out the trailer!
