We have heard many tales about the presidents of the United States, their lives, thoughts and politics. But it is now time to focus solely on the first lady and their journey to Washington DC. The television drama series The First Lady will be offering that in-depth storytelling through the eyes of these important women.
According to news media, the show steers clear of the West Wing and solely focuses on the East, "where 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."
It is going to stress characters like First Ladies Betty Ford, who is played by Michelle Pfeiffer and Eleanor Roosevelt, played by The Crown fame Gillian Anderson. The trailer shows stars like Davis, Anderson, and Pfeiffer transform into three extremely influential first ladies.
