Netflix has secured a deal with former President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama to produce series and movies for the streaming service. The former first couple will, according to an announcement Monday from the company, potentially work on scripted and unscripted series as well as docu-series, documentary films, and features under the multi-year deal.
"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.”
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,” said Michelle Obama. “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.”

As soon as I read this I cancelled. I recommend others who believe in Western civilization to do likewise.
This is equivalent to getting a cheery letter from Netflix telling you that a package of dog poop will soon be winging its merry way to you. I wonder how many subscribers will drop Netflix because of this incredibly stupid move.
Yep! Good on you!
The liberal entertainment industry just does not get it that the American people are done with the Obamas. In fact Hollywood stars are having such difficulty getting good parts and scripts they’re even doing movies for NetFlex.
The idea is if you want your self out there without all the screening and such....go with netflex...which has become like a glorified “you tube”.......
Tis is why the Obamas went this way.They have full control of their messages.
.....”I wonder how many subscribers will drop Netflix because of this incredibly stupid move”....
Netflex likely is counting on picking up the Bo/Hillary crowds,students etc.and call it a wash....However, I think they will have overplayed their hand because they always underestimate our side.
Frankly I’m glad to have dropped it....you have to wade through the crap to find anything worthwhile to watch it’s so full of gross stuff!
Well exactly!
Why is (s)he so mad?
Oh , yeah! Obamas will now produce their Joseph Goebbels style propaganda in order to redefine history. Obama knew about placing a spy or spies with the Trump campaign, and the Trump Presidency. Make a movie about that!
No matter how many NETFLIX movies these a$$hats make, they can’t stop President Trump , who is dismantling Obama’s sordid draconian, liberal fascist policies piece by piece.
HOw long before the cancellations start? Does anyone really believe the Obama’s will do more than lift a finger to sign the contract? Someone still believes in the Obama mystique. With Kanye off the plantation, how many others will follow?
To anyone with a Netflix Subscription... don’t want to watch something? Just don’t watch it. Netflix keeps a record of what gets watched and recommend to you accordingly.
No, I think Canada or Australia may do.
You might have to say Canada TV or Canada Movie but all will eventually come up
I’m cancelling today,and I’ve been with them from the start; F’em.
CANCELLED!

Since I joined Amazon Prime, I have found much better stuff to watch than I do on Netflix. I haven't watched anything on Netflix for over a month. Netflix is where you go to watch ancient TV shows and even more ancient movies, apparently. I don't know where Netflix goes to find such awful stuff. This latest hire of 2 of the most traitorous scummy pieces of excrement seems like a good reason to finally cancel.
I’ve never liked netflix.
My wife and I will be dropping ObamaFlix. Ef them.
Nicely done sir.
