'Good American Family' episode 7 is streaming. How to watch the Hulu series
Show Caption
Hulu viewers can watch the latest episode of the Midwest-set drama " Good American Family." Episode 7 was released for streaming April 23.
Told from multiple points of view, the eight-episode series is inspired by the story of Ukrainian orphan Natalia Grace Barnett, who was thrust into the spotlight after her Indiana adoptive parents claimed she was an adult, not a child, and that she tried to kill them.
Starring Ellen Pompeo ("Grey's Anatomy"), the limited drama series depicts the saga of Kristine and Michael Barnett, accused of abandoning their adopted daughter who they claimed was an adult with dwarfism who was posing as a child.
What is Natalia Grace 'Good American Family' show about? Is it based on a true story?
The story made international news when the Barnetts were accused of abandoning Natalia, leaving her alone in a Lafayette apartment while the rest of the family moved to Canada.
In 2010, as the Journal & Courier has reported through the years, Michael and Kristine Barnett adopted Natalia, who they believed was 6 years old. Natalia had been diagnosed with spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia congenita, a rare genetic disorder affecting the spine and resulting in short stature and skeletal anomalies.
The parents claimed that the genetic disorder made Natalia appear far younger than she really was, and, as reported, the Barnetts petitioned in June 2012 for a Marion County court to alter Natalia's Ukrainian birth records.
Viewers are notified the episodes include "certain events as alleged by Kristine and Michael Barnett."
"This series portrays certain allegations by the individuals involved in this story, including in court proceedings and as publicly reported," the notice says. "It reflects and dramatizes multiple conflicting points of view, and does not intend to suggest that any particular allegation is the whole truth. Characters, scenes, dialogue and some events have been modified, imagined, or invented for dramatic purposes."

Summer TV Preview 2025: Inside Must-Watch New and Returning Shows From ‘The Bear' to ‘Love Island USA'
Sure, everyone likes to get outside in the summer. But the great outdoors won't seem so great once you realize what's waiting for you on the small screen this season. For starters, you'll get answers to some big cliffhangers, like: What exactly did that restaurant review say on Hulu's fan favorite The Bear — and is the end of the line for Carmy's restaurant? And then there's Netflix's ultra-bingeable Squid Game, where Player 456 in the deadly cash-grab just saw his best friend executed as they tried to storm those off-limits areas and stop the game once and for all. Whether Wednesday Addams would return to Nevermore Academy wasn't exactly a cliffhanger, but questions were definitely raised at the end of the Jenna Ortega series' smash first season: Who was her stalker? What secrets are still 'lurking in the dark corners of Jericho,' as Wednesday mused in the finale? The Netflix horror show ups the stakes in round two: 'The ambition of the show is limitless,' co-showrunner and executive producer Miles Millar has said. 'We let our imaginations fly.' Among new shows, we'll see a new take on the thoroughly creepy Alien franchise, highly anticipated book adaptations like We Were Liars and The Rainmaker, and newly minted reality shows about A-listers in the worlds of music, podcasting, fashion and more.

MrBeast says he spent $500K to rent out Disneyland for date with fiancée
MrBeast says he spent $500K to rent out Disneyland for date with fiancée Show Caption Hide Caption What to expect on your visit to Disney's Castaway Cay Castaway Cay is Disney's private island, reserved exclusively for Disney Cruise Line guests in the Bahamas. YouTube's most-subscribed-to content creator has once again made a larger-than-life purchase by paying $500,000 to rent out an entire Disneyland theme park for a "romantic date" with his fiancée. In a new YouTube video, MrBeast, the social media persona of Jimmy Donaldson, takes his fiancée Thea Booysen on six dates that range from $1 to $500,000, concluding with what he says was an evening at Disneyland all to themselves (in addition to a handful of friends and crew, of course). The group rode Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance and Pixar Pal-A-Round (the 150-foot-tall Ferris wheel); played several carnival-style games; and built custom lightsabers at Savi's Workshop in Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge. "There are no words to describe how special it is to have Disney all to ourselves," Donaldson said in the little over 17-minute video. "I think we all made memories that are going to last a lifetime." Birthdays at Disneyland: Duchess Meghan, Prince Harry take Archie and Lilibet to Disneyland for birthday MrBeast is not the first celeb to rent out Disneyland On Feb. 27, 1992, actress Elizabeth Taylor rented out all of Disneyland to celebrate her 60th birthday. The entire park shut down for the birthday bash, which required extra security. Hundreds of celebrities attended the party, which proved to be a successful marketing promotion for Disney. Theme parks: New report finds Disneyland, Disney World contribute $67B to US economy Can you actually rent out all of Disneyland? Disney did not immediately respond to USA TODAY's request for comment on MrBeast's video or consumers' ability to rent out an entire theme park. However, several Disney-centric blogs like Magic Guides say it is not possible. "Closing down the resort for a day would be a public relations nightmare and would severely disrupt how guests could plan and book their trips," Magic Guides' author Joshua Powell wrote. Disneyland does offer some private and after-hours experiences, though, like Disney After Hours, in which customers can purchase tickets for three extended hours after the park's traditional closing time. The theme park also offers Disney's Fair Tale Weddings & Honeymoons, which allows couples and their family to rent various venues, including The Sleeping Beauty Castle Forecourt and Small World Mall.
