New Hulu Drama about Westfield Family Premieres
A brand-new scripted drama is making waves on Hulu today, and it has a wild true-crime backstory with a local connection. Good American Family—which premieres today—dives into the bizarre and unsettling Natalia Grace case, a real-life story that left people questioning what was real and what was an elaborate scheme.
A True-Crime Case That Captivated the Nation
The Natalia Grace case first gained attention in 2019 when a Westfield, Indiana couple, Michael and Kristine Barnett, claimed that their adopted daughter was not a child but a sociopathic adult woman masquerading as one. They alleged that she had attempted to harm them and their biological children. However, Natalia and others disputed this, arguing that she was indeed a child who had been abandoned by the very people who were supposed to care for her. Over the years, the case spawned multiple investigations, a documentary (The Curious Case of Natalia Grace), and intense public speculation. Now, Hulu’s scripted take on the story will likely reignite debates about what really happened behind closed doors.
Ellen Pompeo’s Big Return to TV
The show also marks a major career move for Grey’s Anatomy star Ellen Pompeo, who takes on the role of the adoptive mother at the center of the controversy. This is her first leading role since stepping away from Grey’s, and fans are eager to see her in a completely different, darker setting. Pompeo, who spent nearly two decades as Meredith Grey, has described this new role as both challenging and exciting. Unlike the nurturing and heroic doctor she played on Grey’s, her character in Good American Family is caught in a web of fear, paranoia, and a fight for the truth—or at least, her version of it.

Good American Family is available to stream now on Hulu.
