Malia Obama has reportedly signed on to write for an upcoming streaming series helmed by Donald Glover, who just inked an eight-figure production deal with Amazon Prime.
Glover’s new pact with the streaming platform will see the Emmy and Grammy winner produce a number of as-yet developed television projects, such as a potential news series dubbed “Hive,” and tapped writer Janine Nabers (“Watchmen”) to help lead a team which includes the former First Daughter of the United States, The Hollywood Reporter first reported.
Sources also have revealed that “Hive” will center around a Beyoncé-like character.
Malia, 22, is a student in Harvard University’s class of 2021, and this would mark her first professional entertainment gig after several A-list internships, including a stint on the set of HBO’s “Girls” in 2015.
News of the high-profile addition to Glover’s writer’s room comes only days after it was announced that the 37-year-old “Atlanta” creator and Phoebe Waller-Bridge, the brain behind award-winning series “Fleabag,” would come together on screen for a remake of 2005’s “Mr. and Mrs. Smith,” also in partnership with Amazon Studios as well as New Regency.
Amazon declined to comment. Reps for Glover, also known as recording artist Childish Gambino, did not immediately respond to The Post’s requests for comment.
