A gripping new drama series based on the true story of Natalia Grace, a Ukrainian orphan with dwarfism, is set to captivate audiences. Created and executive produced by Katie Robbins, the show stars Ellen Pompeo as Kristine Barnett, the mother of a family who adopts a young girl named Grace. The series promises suspense, twists, and shocking revelations as the family begins to suspect that Grace may not be who she claims to be.
The series, featuring an all-star cast including Mark Duplass, Imogen Faith Reid, Dulé Hill, Christina Hendricks, Sarayu Blue, and Jenny O'Hara, follows the Barnett family's journey from hopeful beginnings to a chilling nightmare. Initially believing that adopting Grace would provide a fresh start, the family soon finds themselves embroiled in a web of mystery and doubt. The show delves into themes of trust, fear, and the complexities of familial bonds.
The eight-episode series will premiere on Hulu, with the first two episodes set to release on March 19. Following the premiere, viewers can anticipate weekly episode releases, allowing the suspense to build gradually over time. This marks Ellen Pompeo's first major role since stepping down as a series regular on "Grey's Anatomy" in 2023. Despite her departure, she continues to make guest appearances on the long-running medical drama.
Pompeo, reflecting on her role and its significance, stated:
"I've always considered myself blessed. I've known I was put on this Earth to build a world where all kids can feel safe." – Ellen Pompeo
The series not only showcases Pompeo's return to a leading role but also highlights a compelling narrative inspired by real-life events. As part of Disney's extensive portfolio, which owns both ABC News and "Good Morning America," this drama is expected to draw considerable attention.
