Viola Davis seen as Michelle Obama in First Lady’s first trailer

Oscar-winning actress Viola Davis’ portrayal of Michelle Obama is seen in the first trailer for a new TV drama.

First Lady, which will air later this year, will explore the lives of the women married to three US presidents.

The 10-part series will also star Michelle Pfeiffer as Betty Ford and Gillian Anderson as Eleanor Roosevelt.

It is described as a “revelatory reframing of American leadership, told through the lens of the women at the heart of the White House”.
