The First Lady showrunner Cathy Schulman currently exchanged their views on whether prior First Lady Melania Trump’s story will be contained in the Showtime series.
Season one of Showtime’s The First Lady hasn’t been issued yet, but that hasn’t prohibited us from thinking about future seasons. In a current interview, series showrunner Cathy Schulman disclosed that there’s no uncertainty in her mind that a storyline about prior First Lady Melania Trump (a native of Slovenia) will make its way onto the show. But, we may need to way a bit.
“I don’t know about season two but I’m dying to do Melania,” she told Variety in an interview. “She will be in this show.”
Schulman continued, “I think we need to examine each and every aspect of what’s happened in those White House walls and she’s part of it.”
So what would the price fashion model’s season extend? Schulman says it could be all sides around “the most unlikely to end up” in the White House.
“Personally, I think she’d be a really interesting person to look at in that season,” Schulman says.
Schulman already has observed the next three women she’d like to cover.
“Right now, I’m in a very big deep dive into Abigail Adams and obsessing for some reason,” Schulman revealed, “But we’ll look for a theme that drives the next season.” Schulman is especially interested in exploring “patriotism,” she said.
Season one of The First Lady, which uploads on April 17, follows Michelle Obama (Viola Davis), Betty Ford (Michelle Pfeiffer), and Eleanor Roosevelt (Gillian Anderson) as they consider the role of being the most main lady in the land.
And Schulman says the theme of this season was “voice,” specifically “women finding their voice in this unusual job that pushes them behind the man.”
