The American pay channel Showtime has canceled the anthology series “The First Lady”, about the First Ladies of the United States. The attraction failed to rank among the public and garnered negative reviews.
“Showtime can confirm that the anthology series ‘The First Lady’ will not move forward with another season,” a spokesperson for the channel said in a statement. “We would like to applaud the artistry and commitment of our showrunner Cathy Schulman, director Susanne Bier, their fellow executive producers, our incredible cast, led by executive producers Viola Davis, Michelle Pfeiffer and Gillian Anderson, and our partner. in the Lionsgate studio for their dedication to telling the unique stories of three extraordinary leaders. “
The first season of the anthology series covered three different eras in the White House with the portrayal of famous actresses. Viola Davis (“The Suicide Squad”) played Michelle Obama, Gillian Anderson (“The Crown”) played Eleanor Roosevelt, and Michelle Pfeiffer (“Ant-Man and the Wasp”) played Betty Ford.
But despite the talent involved, scriptwriter Aaron Cooley’s creation (“Best. Worst. Finde. Of. All.”) Didn’t convince. Also directed by the Danish Susanne Bier, who has already won the Oscar for best foreign film (for “In a Better World”) and the Emmy for best direction in a miniseries (for “The Night Manager”), production was considered mediocre, with only 41% approval on the Rotten Tomatoes aggregator.
If renewed, the attraction would tell the story of other First Ladies in its second season.
