Shonda Rhimes, Ryan Murphy…Barack and Michelle Obama? 
  
 The former president and first lady are in “advanced negotiations” with Netflix to produce a series of shows exclusively for the streaming service, The New York Times reports. 
  
 The Obamas would produce and star in shows that reflect inspirational stories and continue the work they advocated in the White House, said the report. One could see the former president “moderate conversations on topics that dominated his presidency—health care, voting rights, immigration, foreign policy, climate change.” A show featuring Michelle Obama could focus on nutrition, a topic she championed as first lady.

 “President and Mrs. Obama have always believed in the power of storytelling to inspire. 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,” said Eric Schultz, a senior adviser to the former president. 
  
 Netflix has 118 million subscribers globally, giving the Obamas a sizable platform to continue engaging with the public. 
  
 The deal also could be lucrative to the Obamas’ post-White House careers and supplement the reported $65 million publishing deal they signed with Penguin Random House in 2017. Michelle Obama will be first to release her memoir, Becoming, November 13. 
  
 The Times report said it’s unclear how much money Netflix is willing to spend on the Obamas, but in the past year the streaming service has been on a big spending spree to lock down some of TV’s most powerful players. 
  
 Grey’s Anatomy creator Shonda Rhimes jumped from ABC to Netflix in August 2017 in a deal estimated to be worth $100 million and spanning four years. 
  
 Ryan Murphy, the über-producer behind Glee, American Horror Story, American Crime Story and Feud, joined Rhimes at Netflix in February. He is reported to have signed a $300 million, five-year pact. 
  
 Mark Borkowski, a media analyst and PR strategist, tells Newsweek that the Obamas' deal could eclipse both of those. He says Netflix may offer the former first couple $500 million. 
  
 "Competition between streamers is so intense. We see money being flown at [creators]," says Borkowski. "It depends what it is, what that program is, what it becomes...is it [related] to a foundation or charity work? It could make it a less [expensive] deal. But it'll still be a big deal." 
  
 It’s unlikely the Obamas will be producing fictional series for Netflix like Rhimes and Murphy, but if you’re wondering what it might look like if they did, the former president is a noted fan of Game of Thrones and The Wire. Michelle, meanwhile, is a fan of Empire and Scandal. ||||| Netflix hit a record 117.6 million subscribers last quarter, thanks to an addition of 1.9 million domestic and 6.4 million international streaming subscribers. About 55 million of those are U.S. subscribers. For comparison, there are about 94 million pay TV subscribers in the U.S. 
  
 International growth rates — up 11 percent in the fourth quarter compared to Q3 — continued to outpace domestic growth rates of under 4 percent. Netflix’s international subscriber numbers surpassed domestic for the first time last year. 
  
 Another 3.4 million people still get Netflix DVDs in the mail. ||||| Barack Obama might appear on-camera as the moderator of a new series on Netflix. Or he might stay off-camera as a producer of a show about uplifting American stories. 
  
 Or maybe he'll do both. 
  
 Talks are underway between Obama and Netflix (NFLX), according to a source familiar with the discussions. 
  
 The source characterized it as a "production partnership" and said the deal has not been finalized yet. 
  
 If it happens, both the former president and his wife, Michelle, will be involved in a series of shows for Netflix. 
  
 It would be a triumph for the streaming service, providing the kind of exclusive programming that sells subscriptions. And it would give the Obamas a platform to reach a huge audience around the world. 
  
 Netflix says it has more than 117 million subscribers, 55 million of whom are in the United States. 
  
 A Netflix spokesman declined to comment on Thursday.

 News of the talks was first reported by The New York Times. "The number of episodes and the formats for the shows have not been decided," The Times said. 
  
 The newspaper described two potential shows. In one, "Mr. Obama could moderate conversations on topics that dominated his presidency." Another show "could feature Mrs. Obama on topics, like nutrition, that she championed in the White House." 
  
 Eric Schultz, a senior adviser to Obama, said in a statement Thursday night that the Obamas "have always believed in the power of storytelling to inspire." 
  
 While he did not comment directly on the Netflix talks, he said the Obamas "continue to explore new ways to help others tell and share their stories." 
  
 In the final days of the Obama administration, it was reported that Obama was interested in pursuing digital media ventures after he left office. 
  
 Jen Psaki, the White House communications director at the time, told CNN that "he is very interested in how people consume information and the changing trends," citing online and mobile news consumption. |||||
Trump as president and Obama on TV? It's a role reversal probably no one could have predicted, but it may be one step closer to reality. Per CNN, Obama is in negotiations regarding a "production partnership" with Netflix, in which the former president and Michelle Obama would be involved in creating exclusive content for the streaming service. What that content would be, and how much of it, is still up in the air, though ideas floated include everything from inspirational narratives, Michelle-hosted shows on topics like nutrition, or Barack moderating episodes on hot-button subjects such as health care and immigration. Also unclear is how much the Obamas would earn, though one analyst estimates it could be as much as $500 million, per Newsweek. The move could be an Obama attempt to push back against the misinformation and "manipulation of news" he has complained about in recent months, giving him "an unfiltered method of communication with the public similar to the audiences he already reaches through social media," per the New York Times, which describes the negotiations as "advanced." (Netflix has 118 million subscribers.) What the shows won't be doing, sources say: getting directly combative with either President Trump or conservatives who've been critical of Obama. Netflix would get new original content out of the deal to keep it competitive against HBO, Amazon, Apple, and the broadcast networks, as well as another big name to boast of in its portfolio—not bad for a company that "began by distributing DVDs," the Times notes.
