Created by Aaron Cooley, the show is a revelatory reframing of American leadership, told through the lens of the women at the heart of the White House. The first season will follow Eleanor Roosevelt (Anderson), Betty Ford (Michelle Pfeiffer) and Michelle Obama (Viola Davis).
The cast also includes Aaron Eckhart, Rhys Wakefield, Judy Greer, Jayme Lawson and Kristine Froseth.
Amy Israel of Showtime Networks had this to say about Anderson's casting:
"Gillian Anderson is an actress of incredible range and exquisite talent – she is the perfect choice to complete this powerhouse trio, who will inhabit the roles of these iconic women. It's inspiring to have Gillian, Viola Davis, Michelle Pfeiffer, Susanne Bier and Cathy Schulman at the forefront of The First Lady. They have truly set the stage for a landmark Showtime series.".
Anderson received a Golden Globe nomination for her performance as Thatcher in the Netflix series "The Crown", and won the statuette for her performance as Dana Scully on "The X-Files". The actress has also signed on to star in the Lionsgate film "White Bird: A Wonder Story".
