The entertainment streaming giant says the couple will produce scripted and unscripted documentaries and feature films under the name Higher Ground Productions.

The agreement will give the Obamas a greater voice outside of the traditional public speaking, books and charity work that recent ex-presidents have relied on.

Netflix has around 125 million subscribers worldwide.

In a statement Barack Obama said they hope to “cultivate and curate the talented, inspiring, creative voices who are able to promote greater empathy and understanding between peoples.”
