Hulu has today announced the premiere date for its upcoming original limited series Good American Family (previously titled Orphan) starring Ellen Pompeo, Mark Duplass and Imogen Reid.
The 8-episode limited series will premiere on Wednesday, March 19 with its first two episodes. New episodes will then be released weekly every Wednesday until the season finale on April 30.
Told from multiple points of view, as a means to explore issues of perspective, bias and trauma, this series is inspired by the disturbing stories surrounding a Midwestern couple (Pompeo, Duplass) who adopt a girl with a rare form of dwarfism (Reid). But 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.
Recurring guest stars include Dulé Hill, Christina Hendricks, Sarayu Blue and Jenny O'Hara.
Katie Robbins created the series. She executive produces with Pompeo, Sarah Sutherland, Laura Holstein, Andrew Stearn, Dan Spilo, Niles Kirchner, Mike Epps and director Liz Garbus. 20th Television and Calamity Jane produce.
