Trailer for Ellen Pompeo and Mark Duplass' Hulu Series GOOD AMERICAN FAMILY Based on True Story of Natalia Grace
Ellen Pompeo (Grey’s Anatomy) and Mark Duplass (The Morning Show) star in the trailer for the Hulu limited series Good American Family, based on the true story of Natalia Grace, a young girl with a rare form of dwarfism, who was adopted in 2010 by Kristine and Michael Barnett..
The trailer states that the series, produced by 20th Television, is “inspired by multiple stories, perspectives, threats, interpretations [and] accusations.”
Per Hulu’s official logline, Good American Family will be “told from multiple points of view, as a means to explore issues of perspective, bias, and trauma.”
“As they begin to raise her alongside their three biological children, mystery emerges around her age and background, and they slowly start to suspect she may not be who she says she is.
“As they defend their family from the daughter they’ve grown to believe is a threat, she fights her own battle to confront her past and what her future holds, in a showdown that ultimately plays out in the tabloids and the courtroom.”
Natalia Grace’s story has made headlines since 2010, as the Barnett family abandoned her in an apartment alone, claiming she was lying about her age and alleged that she had tried to kill Kristine.
While Natalia went on to live with two different families in the years that followed, the Barnetts were charged with neglect of a dependent but the charges were later dismissed.
The case was recently explored and investigated in three seasons of ID’s The Curious Case of Natalia Grace, which included interviews with Natalia and her adoptive families after the Barnetts.
Along with Pompeo and Duplass, Imogen Faith Reid plays Natalia. Dulé Hill, Christina Hendricks, Sarayu Blue and Jenny O’Hara appear as recurring guest stars.
Good American Family is created by Katie Robbins, and executive produced by co-showrunners Robbins and Sarah Sutherland. Pompeo also executive produces, along with Laura Holstein, Andrew Stearn, Dan Spilo, Niles Kirchner and Mike Epps. Liz Garbus directed and executive produced the pilot.
Check out the trailer below, and watch Good American Family on Hulu when it premieres on March 19th with two episodes, followed by weekly releases.
