Ellen Pompeo, renowned for her role as Dr. Meredith Grey in “Grey’s Anatomy,” is set to star in a new Hulu limited series titled “Good American Family.” The show is inspired by the true story of Kristine and Michael Barnett, who adopted a young girl named Natalia Grace, initially believing she was a child with dwarfism. As the narrative unfolds, the Barnetts begin to question Natalia’s true identity, leading to a complex and intriguing storyline.
Pompeo plays Kristine Barnett, with Mark Duplass portraying Michael Barnett and newcomer Imogen Faith Reid as Natalia Grace. The series is set to premiere on March 19, 2025, with the first two episodes releasing simultaneously, followed by weekly episodes thereafter. This marks Pompeo’s first major role since her departure from “Grey’s Anatomy” in 2023, where she continued to make guest appearances after stepping down as a series regular.
