Obamas Sign Deal With Netflix, Form 'Higher Ground Productions'
Former President Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama have signed a multi-year deal to form their own production company and provide content to Netflix.
Netflix in a statement said the Obamas would "produce a diverse mix of content – including docu-series, documentaries and features" under their imprint, Higher Ground Productions.
"Michelle and I are so excited to partner with Netflix – we hope to cultivate and curate the talented, inspiring, creative voices who are able to promote greater empathy and understanding between peoples, and help them share their stories with the entire world," the former president said in the Netflix statement.
"Barack and I have always believed in the power of storytelling to inspire us, to make us think differently about the world around us, and to help us open our minds and hearts to others," Michelle Obama said. "Netflix's unparalleled service is a natural fit for the kinds of stories we want to share, and we look forward to starting this exciting new partnership."
Worldwide, Netflix has 125 million subscribers.
