Coming off a multi-million book deal and appearance on David Letterman’s Netflix show, Barack Obama is reportedly in talks to have his own show on the streaming service. It has been detailed that Obama is in “advanced negotiations” to produce a series alongside his wife Michelle, both of whom would be paid by Netflix for the exclusive content.

There aren’t many more details about the deal, except that the show will highlight inspirational stories rather than be used as a platform to critique his former political opponents.
