“Good American Family” is an upcoming Hulu limited series starring Ellen Pompeo and Mark Duplass, set to premiere on March 19, 2025. The series draws inspiration from the real-life events surrounding the adoption of Natalia Grace by Kristine and Michael Barnett. The Barnetts initially believed they were adopting a young girl with a rare form of dwarfism, but as they raised her alongside their three biological children, they began to question her age and identity. This uncertainty led to a series of events that garnered national attention, including legal battles and media scrutiny.
The narrative is presented from multiple perspectives to explore themes of bias, perspective, and trauma. Ellen Pompeo portrays Kristine Barnett, while Mark Duplass plays Michael Barnett. Imogen Faith Reid takes on the role of Natalia Grace.
The series is scheduled to release its first two episodes on March 19, 2025, with subsequent episodes airing weekly on Hulu.
