The series will start with the first meeting of the couple, one of the series writers said. Mrs Macron first met her now-husband when she was a teacher at his secondary school.
The couple ended up marrying in 2007, when Mr Macron was 29 and Mrs Macron was 54. Mrs Macron kept teaching for a time but quit her job in 2015 when her husband began getting involved in politics. He was elected president in 2017.
The French press describes her as one of only a handful of people whose judgement the president always calls on. The new TV series will be written by French writers Bénédicte Charles and Olivier Pouponneau, Gaumont said.
"Brigitte Macron is a fascinating character, and we want to tackle it in a romantic, almost melodramatic way because of the romantic dimension of her destiny," Ms Charles told Le Figaro.
