Netflix Chief Content Officer Ted Sarandos said he's "incredibly proud" the Obamas "have chosen to make Netflix the home for their formidable storytelling abilities."
“Barack and I have always believed in the power of storytelling to inspire us, to make us think differently about the world around us, and to help us open our minds and hearts to others,” Michelle Obama said in a statement.
“One of the simple joys of our time in public service was getting to meet so many fascinating people from all walks of life, and to help them share their experiences with a wider audience,” President Obama said.
