Eric Christian Olsen and Michael Weatherly have teamed up for a new project.

The two CBS stars, Olsen (NCIS: Los Angeles) and Weatherly (Bull) will produce a new provocative drama series titled First Lady at CBS.

According to Deadline, First Lady centers on the beloved First Lady of the United States, who, determined to reclaim her life, does the unthinkable — she divorces her husband while he’s still in office and uses her prominence to become an advocate for truth and justice by revitalizing her career as an investigative journalist.

The series is written and executive-produced by Jessica Grasl. Weatherly will also executive produces via his Solar Drive Productions. Olsen and Kate Schumaecker executive produce via Olsen’s Cloud Nine Productions.
