Get your snacks ready, as a new series from the Obamas is on its way to Netflix! Following a year filled with pandemic challenges, election drama, and rising unemployment, Barack and Michelle Obama have unveiled plans for a comedy show that will explore the transition period when Donald Trump assumed the presidency in 2016. This engaging series, which is set to begin filming in 2021, will blend sketch comedy with documentary elements, promising to reveal the Obamas’ perspectives on the Trump administration.
Titled “The G Word”
The series draws inspiration from Michael Lewis’ book “The Fifth Risk,” which delves into the early challenges faced during the Trump transition. The book’s publisher describes the narrative as a critique of the “Trump administration’s botched presidential transition.” The Obamas’ production company, Higher Ground, acquired the rights to the book back in 2018. According to Deadline, “The G Word” aims to mix documentary and comedy, examining whether government is seen as a negative term or a trusted entity.
Inside Look at Government Operations
The series will provide viewers with an inside look at government operations, moving beyond mere headlines. While fans may have wished for comedic moments featuring Michelle Obama indulging in Oreos during that hectic time, comedian Adam Conover, known for his series “Adam Ruins Everything,” will host the show. “I am thrilled to announce that I’m working on a new comedy series for Netflix about the federal government, titled ‘The G Word.’ I can’t wait to share it with everyone,” Conover tweeted on November 19, 2020.
Multimillion-Dollar Deal with Netflix
The Obamas secured a multimillion-dollar deal with Netflix in 2018, and one of their initial projects, “American Factory,” won the Academy Award for best documentary feature earlier this year. Although the show promises humor, the Obamas approach the subject of the transition with seriousness. Michelle has publicly discussed how she and Barack managed the transition when Trump took office, stating, “We instructed our teams to follow in the footsteps of George and Laura Bush, ensuring a respectful and smooth transition of power—an essential aspect of American democracy.”
