MUMBAI: The admirers of Barack Obama could watch their favourite leader on screen regularly soon. According to media reports in the US, the former American president is in advanced negotiations with Netflix to produce a series of high-profile shows.
Till now, it remains unconfirmed whether he will appear on camera or stay off-camera as a producer. Netflix would pay Obama and his wife, the famous former first lady Michelle Obama, for exclusive content that would be available only on the streaming service.
People familiar with discussions about the programming have claimed that Obama does not intend to use the shows to respond to Donald Trump or conservative critics. Rather, they will opt for inspirational stories.
“Throughout their lives, they have lifted up stories of people whose efforts to make a difference are quietly changing the world for the better. As they consider their future personal plans, they continue to explore new ways to help others tell and share their stories,” Eric Schultz, a senior adviser to the former president, was quoted by The New York Times.
The number of episodes and the formats for the shows are to be decided.
