The First Lady[1] is an American anthology drama television series created by Aaron Cooley which premiered on Showtime on April 17, 2022.[2] It stars Michelle Pfeiffer, Viola Davis, and Gillian Anderson, among others, and portrays life and family events of three First Ladies of the United States: Eleanor Roosevelt, Betty Ford, and Michelle Obama. The series received mixed reviews, with praise for Pfeiffer, Davis and Anderson's performances, as well as the costuming, set design, and themes, but criticism for its pacing and plot.[3][4] In August 2022, the series was canceled after one season.[5]
