Donald Glover Confirms Malia Obama On Writing Team for New Amazon Show

March 28, 2022

Donald Glover is somebody who pushes the creative envelope on multiple levels, and that extends to who he has on his team in these efforts. And now he’s got another notable name lending an assist—Malia Obama.

In an interview with Vanity Fair, the Atlanta creator and star did confirm that the daughter of former President Barack Obama is now part of the writer’s room for his upcoming unnamed series on Amazon. “She’s just like, an amazingly talented person,” said Glover on the red carpet at the Atlanta season three premiere, which took place at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles. “She’s really focused, and she’s working really hard.”

His brother, Stephen Glover, also was in agreement. “Donald always says perspective is important, and people with different perspectives are important for a writer’s room. And for sure, she definitely has a unique perspective on everything,” he said to reporters at the event. “So we wanted to hear her stories and have her work with us. Listening to her stories and having her involved really gave us a lot of good ideas.”
