Dakota was reported as being in 6 episodes and Judy Greer in 4 so it looks like Michelle, Viola and Gillian will be in each episode.

Hmm, Dakota is only down for 3 and Judy is only down for 2 🤷♂️ Just gotta wait and see, I guess. Tbh, I’d just be happy with a firm release date right now. Really curious to see if this is realistically gonna happen in 2021

Cayden Boyd who is playing one of her onscreen son's posted some content from the set on his Instagram stories. No Michelle but looks like they are filming Christmas material. www.instagram.com/caydenboyd/?hl=en

Nice, he makes for a pretty decent Steve Ford, I feel. I remember hearing about one Christmas Day when Ford was President that a man drove up to the White House and I can't remember if he made it past the gate or not, but he drove up with a bomb, hoping to blow himself (and possibly the President) up. It was a standoff which lasted for hours. The Fords were on vacation at their home tho so they weren't there, but I think the bomb was real, not sure. Wonder if that incident is a part of the Christmas stuff.
Poor President Ford. I think he had like three assassination attempts. Couldn't catch a break, that guy.

Further casting was announced yesterday for Michelle Obama's story. I don't think Viola has started filming yet.
I wonder if this could be a 6 month shoot with Michelle, Viola and Gillian each doing a 2 month shoot for their stories?

Sounds reasonable. I wonder if they still plan to release this year, or next in time for sweeps.

Viola must be filming next as apart from Gillian nobody else has been announced for Eleanor's story.

Wish Showtime would drop a still of Michelle and Aaron as Betty and Gerald to wet our appetite. Maybe this will be released early 2022 in time for Emmy's next year.

Oh, gosh, a still of the two of them would be great!
Yea, it wouldn't surprise me if it was released early next year. I don't watch Showtime so I don't know what time of year they tend to release season/series premieres, but that scenario makes sense.

Saw a tweet on the writers page and he says the writers turned in 10 scripts for this which obviously means there will be 10 episodes.

Nice! Finally something official enough! Hmm...10 episodes, 3 First Ladies...

If I were to venture a guess, 3 episodes for each one, then the last features all of them?

Love how Cayden Boyd keeps posting stories on his Instagram of him in his costumes. They have gone through a lot of different costumes already by the looks of it.

Cayden Boyd has posted on his Instagram stories that he has wrapped today.
I can't see Michelle having much longer left as she has been filming for 7 weeks now. Maybe another week or 2. Plenty of time to get ready for the Ant Man shoot.

Nice! Gosh, this actor HAS been kind of a good source of info. I think it does make sense that she would be wrapping up and getting ready to film Ant-Man.

Yes as it seems obvious now that they are filming each First Lady block separately. Betty's 1st and then it looks like Viola is up next and Gillian will be last.
I'll be annoyed if Susanne starts posting set photos from Viola's block.

http://instagram.com/p/COfSkxMJeCr Seems they have started filming Michelle Obama's story now. Interestingly one of the actors posted a photo of one of the scripts and episode 2 looks to be called Michelle so it seems each First Lady will be getting individual episodes.

Interesting! So I guess they're going in the order of Obama, Ford, Roosevelt??

Who knows how this is going to turn out. Maybe episode 1 will be Betty, ep 2 Michelle and ep 3 Eleanor then back to Betty again.

www.indiewire.com/2021/05/emmys-the-undoing-director-susanne-bier-hbo-biggest-series-numbers-1234636085/Next up: Aaron Cooley’s Showtime series “The First Lady,” featuring Viola Davis as Michelle Obama, Michelle Pfeiffer as Betty Ford, and Gillian Anderson as Eleanor Roosevelt, which Bier is finally shooting in Atlanta after the series was halted due to the pandemic last May. “We’ve finished Michelle Pfeiffer and Dakota Fanning [as Betty and Susan Ford] and Aaron Eckhart [Reverend Jerry Falwell],” she said, “and we’re starting Viola Davis.” Bier will thread the cradle-to-grave strands of three first ladies through 10 one-hour episodes. “It’s pretty exciting and slightly daunting,” she said. “It’s like doing three and a half high-level features in a row, with no breaks in between. Then we cut it all together.” Luckily when it’s all over, she’ll forget all the stress and hard work: “It’s like giving birth.
