00:00Our first look at Ellen Pompeo's next big role in Hulu's Natalia Grace-inspired series is here.
00:06Hulu just dropped these first-look photos, and announced that the eight-episode limited series titled
00:12Good American Family will release two episodes on March 19, followed by weekly installments for the remainder of its run.
00:18Good American Family is a dramatization of the Natalia Grace story that stars Pompeo and Mark Duplass.
00:24Natalia Grace has become a familiar name as her story has been told across three seasons of the
00:29ID docu-series The Curious Case of Natalia Grace. The logline for Good American Family reads,
00:35Told from multiple points of view as a means to explore issues of perspective, bias, and trauma,
00:40this compelling drama is inspired by the disturbing stories surrounding a Midwestern
00:45couple who adopts a girl with a rare form of dwarfism. As they begin to raise her alongside
00:50their three biological children, mystery emerges around her age and background, and they slowly
00:55start to suspect she may not be who she says she is. As they defend their family from the daughter
01:00they've grown to believe is a threat, she fights her own battle to confront her past and what her
01:04future holds, in a showdown that ultimately plays out in the tabloids and the courtroom.
01:09The series was announced back in summer 2022, prompting Pompeo to scale back her on-screen
01:14role on ABC's Grey's Anatomy so she could star in and executive produce the new show,
01:19which at the time was described as an untitled orphan project. Pompeo stayed on as Grey's weekly
01:24voiceover narrator, but scaled back her appearances as Meredith Grey. When filming
01:28wrapped on Good American Family, she upped her on-screen role for season 21, which returns
01:33March 6 on ABC. For more on this story, go to THR.com. This is The Hollywood Reporter News.
