‘The First Woman’ trailer sees Viola Davis completely embody Michelle Obama

The juicy trailer for The First Woman affords a peek on the first Black First Woman as portrayed by Viola Davis, and it seems simply nearly as good as you’d count on.

Michelle Obama will not be the one White Home partner the anthology collection will look at both, with Michelle Pfeiffer portraying Betty Ford, and Gillian Anderson as Eleanor Roosevelt. It is a complete squad of robust ladies mixed with different robust ladies, like a robust girl Megazord.

The First Woman will comply with a number of U.S. presidents’ companions from earlier than their husbands took workplace, and look at every administration by way of the First Girls’ eyes — in addition to their very own impression and private lives. The drama can even function O-T Fagbenle as Barack Obama, Aaron Eckhart as Gerald Ford, and Kiefer Sutherland as Franklin D. Roosevelt.

The First Woman premieres Apr. 17 on Showtime.
