The Obamas are launching their own Netflix shows, here's what we know so far

Netflix has truly been knocking it out of the park recently with their new releases. What with true crime documentary The Disappearance of Madeleine McCannn, the second instalment of The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina and THAT surprise documentary from Beyoncé, we've been spoilt for incredible TV content. Prepare to clear your TV queue though, because the Obamas are set to make their streaming debut.

Barack and Michelle have been pretty quiet since leaving the White House, but it turns out they've been super busy developing their own production company, Higher Ground Productions, which we're already huge fans of purely for its name. In even better news, they've struck a deal with the streaming giant, blessing us with a whole new slate of programs.

There are seven passion projects in the pipeline - four series, two documentaries and one feature film - and by the looks of things, they're making good on their word to bring more diverse storytelling to our screens.

Lovers of period dramas will be no doubt be interested in the "upstairs/downstairs" high-fashion drama [i]Bloom [/I], which explores the "barriers faced by women and by people of colour in an era marked by hurdles but also tremendous progress" in post-World War II New York.

History buffs will also want to look out for American Factory, the Sundance award-winning documentary which tells the story of a Chinese billionaire who takes over an abandoned General Motors factory in the Midwest and hires thousands of American workers.

Then there's a fascinating biopic about the abolitionist Frederick Douglass, an anthology series Overlooked, about the stories of remarkable people who never made it into the New York Times' obituaries section, and a feature length documentary Crisp Camp, about a summer camp for disabled teenagers.
