After the 44th President of the United States left office, he announced that he plans to take a long vacation. It seems that Barack Obama has had enough rest, because yesterday it became officially known that he and his wife are starting a new career. Netflix has published a message that Barack and Michelle Obama have signed a contract with the company for several years, its amount has not been disclosed.

The ex-president of the United States and his wife will make films and TV series for Netflix, including, probably, documentaries and popular science films, as well as TV series and film adaptations of literary works. The Obama couple founded their own company Higher Ground Productions specifically for this, and they will work not only behind the scenes, but also in the frame.
