The late president’s daughter, Patti Davis, is producing the series which will become the first project developed and written in cooperation with the Reagan family. Former Empire co-executive producer David Rambo is behind the project. He once wrote a one-man play, The Lifeguard: Ronald Reagan and His Story starring Robert Forster, mixing Reagan's early life as a lifeguard with his meetings as president with Mikhail Gorbachev. According to Deadline, the limited series will be “an intimate exploration of what made Ronald Reagan an American paragon, beloved husband and complex father, chronicling his early days as a lifeguard, his tumultuous years in Hollywood, and his triumphs and tragedies as President.”
