We still can’t get over Gillian Anderson’s fantastic portrayal of Margaret Thatcher on The Crown, and she’s already getting ready to play another iconic historical figure. The Emmy-winning actress is set to play Eleanor Roosevelt in the Showtime series The First Lady.

According to its official synopsis, this historical anthology series will peel back the curtain on the personal and political lives of the enigmatic women at the heart of the White House.

Anderson will join Viola Davis and Michelle Pfeiffer, set to play Michelle Obama and Betty Ford. Amy Israel, EVP of scripted programming for Showtime Networks, said it’s inspiring to have them at the forefront of this series.

“Gillian Anderson is an actress of incredible range and exquisite talent—she is the perfect choice to complete this powerhouse trio, who will inhabit the roles of these iconic women,” said Israel in a statement.

Susanne Bier is set to direct and executive produce, while the rest of the cast will include Aaron Eckhart, Judy Greer, and Rhys Wakefield.

Gillian Anderson almost passed on playing professional sex therapist Jean Milburn on the critically acclaimed British comedy-drama Sex Education. 

The former X-Files star told Entertainment Weekly that the first thing she did after reading the script for the pilot was throw it in the trash. “I read a teeny bit of the first episode and threw it in the bin,” she told EW. “Initially I felt that it was too on the nose.”

But all that changed after Anderson’s real-life partner, creator of The Crown, Peter Morgan, read the script and set to change her mind. “Pete essentially took it out the bin and read it and loved it, and said, ‘You’re mad. This will be really good for you to do.’ I read it and I thought it was hilarious.” 

And now that Sex Education is a huge success, Anderson added: “he does keep reminding me that the success of it is all down to him.”

Season 2 of Sex Education is now streaming on Netflix.
