Watch Hulu Trailer for Natalia Grace Saga ‘Good American Family’ with Ellen Pompeo

Hulu is gearing up to release a gripping new series called “Good American Family,” which is inspired by the fascinating case of Natalia Grace. Set to premiere on March 19th on both Hulu and Disney+, this limited drama series follows the tumultuous story of Kristine and Michael Barnett.

The Barnetts made headlines when they claimed that their adopted daughter, Natalia, who they initially believed to be a young child, was actually an adult pretending to be a child. The series delves into the saga of the Barnetts, who faced accusations of abandoning Natalia in an apartment in Lafayette, Indiana.

Starring Ellen Pompeo of “Grey’s Anatomy” fame as Kristine Barnett and executive produced by Pompeo herself, the series was previously known as “Untitled Orphan Project.” The first trailer for “Good American Family” has already been released and offers a glimpse into the intense and mysterious storyline.

In 2010, the Barnetts adopted Natalia, who they believed was 6 years old and diagnosed with spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia congenita, a rare genetic disorder. The Barnetts claimed that this disorder made Natalia appear younger than her actual age, leading them to petition in June 2012 to change Natalia’s birth records.

The series will comprise eight episodes, each offering a deeper dive into the complexities of Natalia’s case. The cast includes Ellen Pompeo as Kristine Barnett, Mark Duplass as Michael Barnett, Imogen Faith Reid as Natalia Grace, Dulé Hill as Det. Brandon Drysdale, Sarayu Blue as daycare parent Valika, and Christina Hendricks as Cynthia Mans.

Comedian Mike Epps, an Indianapolis native, is also involved in the series as a producer. Principal photography took place in Santa Clarita, California, in 2024.

For those eager to watch the series, mark your calendars for March 19th, when the first two episodes will be released followed by weekly episodes. Additionally, fans of the case can also check out the third season of “The Curious Case Of Natalia Grace” on Max and Prime Video, offering more in-depth insights into this fascinating story.

The Natalia Grace saga is a captivating one, filled with twists and turns that have captured worldwide attention. With the release of “Good American Family” on the horizon, viewers can expect a riveting exploration of this complex and compelling case.
