The highly-anticipated anthology series ‘The First Lady’ will premiere April 17 on Showtime. The first season will focus on first ladies Michelle Obama, Betty Ford, and Eleanor Roosevelt. The iconic American women will be played by Viola Davis, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Gillian Anderson.

The 10-episode series will be a ‘revelatory reframing of American leadership, told through the lens of the women at the heart of the White House. In the government’s East Wing, many of history’s most impactful and world-changing decisions have been hidden from view, made by America’s charismatic, complex and dynamic First Ladies. 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.’

The show also stars Kiefer Sutherland as President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Aaron Eckhart as President Gerald Ford, Dakota Fanning as Susan Elizabeth Ford, Regina Taylor as Marian Shields Robinson, Lily Rabe as Lorena ‘Hick” Hickok, and Jayme Lawson as young Michelle Obama. See more photos of the cast in our gallery now.
