Former president of the United States of America,Barrack Hussien Obama and his wife Michelle Obama have signed a multi-year agreement to produce films and series for Netflix, including scripted series, unscripted series, docu-series, documentaries, and features.The power couple has created a company, Higher Ground Productions, to produce content for Netflix and this deal will give Mr. Obama an international television platform, allowing him to reach millions of people in the United States and internationally.

In line with the New York times report, Barack Obama said the Obamas' Netflix original content was unlikely to be a vehicle for partisan rhetoric ,adding that he told associates that "he does not intend to use the new platform to wage a public campaign against his successor in the Oval Office, or to fight against conservative media outlets like Fox News."

Barack Obama in a statement on Monday said "One of the simple joys of our time in public service was getting to meet so many fascinating people from all walks of life, and to help them share their experiences with a wider audience, we hope to cultivate and curate the talented, inspiring, creative voices who are able to promote greater empathy and understanding between peoples, and help them share their stories with the entire world."

Financial terms of the Obamas' Netflix deal have not been disclosed but the deal with the streaming service (Netflix) follows a record setting deal signed by the Obamas at least $60 million with Penguin Random House in February 2017 to write one memoir each.
