Hillary and Chelsea Clinton are reportedly teaming up to create a TV and film production company

Move over, Higher Grounds Productions. There's reportedly a new politician-turned-filmmaker in town.

Hillary Clinton and her daughter Chelsea Clinton are starting a production company to work on films and TV shows, people familiar with the matter tell Bloomberg. The yet-unnamed venture is seemingly the 2016 Democratic nominee's way of transitioning out of politics, seeing as the duo will reportedly use their projects to "influence culture and society," Bloomberg writes.

This isn't Hillary Clinton's first foray into production, seeing as she and Steven Spielberg partnered up to adapt The Woman's Hour into a TV show. The book documents women's fight to pass the 19th amendment and earn the right to vote in the early 20th century. Just like that project, the Clintons' company will "focus on stories by and about women," Bloomberg writes. The Clintons have so far talked to some studios about finacing their planned productions.

The Clintons are following the same post-politics map of former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama, who started Higher Grounds Productions in the spring of 2018. They've since hashed out a deal with Netflix and announced they're working on seven TV shows and two documentaries for the streaming service.
