Warning: to come and come for “Good American Family”.
The scripted mini-series of Hulu “Good American Family”, which tells the true story of the disastrous adoption of Natalia Grace in several perspectives, broadcast her first season on Wednesday.
The dramatic episode, entitled “Blood on Her Hands”, follows Natalia (Imogen Faith Reid) while a legal case went up against his adoptive parents, Kristine and Michael Barnett, played by Ellen pompeo and Mark Duplass.
In real life, the barnetts were arrested and accused of negligence after leaving Natalia in Indiana and moved to Canada. They had adopted it in 2010, believing that she was a 6 -year -old Ukrainian orphan, but later said that Natalia was an adult stopover pretending to be a child. (Natalia denied all their accusations.)
The Barnetts asked a court to reappear Natalia, successfully modifying its legal birth year from 2003 to 1989. However, the barnetts remained its legal tutors following the handicap of Natalia.
Natalia, which has a rare form of nanism called spondyloephyseal dysplasiawas finally adopted by another set of parents, Cynthia and Mans AntwonPlayed by Christina Hendricks and Jerod Haynes.
In the television show, as in real life, barnetts are not going to prison; The case against Michael collapses when the judge reigns against any mention of the Natalia age in court. The accusations against Kristine were then dismissed.
Despite the hard legal verdict, which makes Natalia fear, the world would consider her as a “monster”, the final makes gestures towards a happier future for Natalia with the family of men – but this is not that the true story of Natalia ended.
People interviewed in season three of ID’s documentary centers, “the curious case of Natalia Grace,” said he witnessed abuse in the house of man. Natalia also confirmed that she had left the family, and in January 2025, she said that she lived with another family, The DEPALS, in New York. Cynthia and Antwon Mans did not respond to the request for comments from BI on allegations of abuse.
“Will American Family” will he come back for a second season to continue to follow the twists and turns in Natalia’s story? Here’s what we know.

The creator of the American family “Katie Robbins said that there were no plans for season 2, but” never say “
“Good American Family” was originally created as a limited series of eight episodes.
During the editorial staff, Hulu did not announce any renewal. The creator of the series, Katie Robbins, told TV Insider that the showrunners had not planned a second season.
“This series ends very specifically where it does,” said Robbins. “At the end of this trial, when there are empirical scientific facts (available on) the age of Natalia, and having this does not change the court of law. The fact of not being eligible in the court of law really wins this horrible idea at the end of the day, that does not change.”
Although it has not definitively excluded another season, Robbins explained that the final of the “good American family” was built in a way for the key themes of the show – the deception effects of the bias, the dangers of performative charity, the bankability of the judicial system – to land “strongly”.
“I think that to make an additional story here, it would take a reason, something to say with that,” said Robbins. “And never say, but it would be the thing:” Why say it? “”
