The role of our forever FLOTUS Michelle Obama in Showtime’s “The First Lady” series has raised some serious questions as to who is to play this legendary and beloved figure. Well it takes a legend to play a legend, and none other than Viola Davis is more suitable for the task.

The trailer for the Showtime series dropped Friday and has social media buzzing. “The First Lady” focuses on the journeys of three former First Ladies: Eleanor Roosevelt, Betty Ford, and Michelle Obama as they navigate life during and after their time in the White House. According to the official synopsis, “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.”

After posting the trailer on her Twitter, award-winning actress Viola Davis wrote “Playing the extraordinary @MichelleObama was no small task but an honor of a lifetime.”

“I feel very protective of Michelle,” Davis said in an interview with EW. “It’s our job as actors not to judge whoever we are portraying, but I ended up thinking she’s just dope.”

The cast includes Regina Taylor as Michelle’s mother Marian Shields Robinson, Lexi Underwood as Malia, Saniyya Sidney as Sasha and Gloria Reuben as Valerie Jarrett.
