Davis is an executive producer on the project, which US network Showtime said will "peel back the curtain" on the lives of presidential spouses.
The first season will focus on Eleanor Roosevelt, Betty Ford and Mrs Obama.
Showtime said it is committed to three scripts for the proposed series.
Former US president Barack Obama and his wife launched their own production company in 2018, and have announced deals with Netflix and Spotify.
