Yes: this amazing actress is going to play the role of Michelle Obama in the new series First Ladies

We were already fans of Viola Davis (read: mega How To Get Away With Murder-fans here), but after hearing this news, we are even more excited about this super stylish and Oscar-winning actress. Here’s the deal: Viola Davis is going to play Michelle Obama in the new series First Ladies, a series about the political and personal lives of various first ladies throughout history, with Obama and Eleanor Roosevelt in the lead roles in the first season. It’s still a bit uncertain who will fill the other two roles, but you understand; we are already so incredibly team Michelle slash Viola.
