'Good American Family' finale is streaming. How to watch the Hulu series
Show Caption
Hulu viewers can now watch the entire Midwest-set drama " Good American Family."
The finale of the eight-episode series was released for streaming April 30.
Told from multiple points of view, the 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 the 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."
What is 'Good American Family' episode 8 about?
Titled 'Blood on Her Hands,' the episode is summarized: "With the world watching, Natalia and the Barnetts face off in the court of law and the court of public opinion."
Mike Epps association with 'Good American Family'
Comedian-actor Mike Epps is listed among the executive producers for eight episodes, along with Pompeo, Katie Robbins, Sarah Sutherland, Laura Holstein, Niles Kirchner, Dan Spilo and Andrew Stern. Erin Levy executive-produced three episodes, and Liz Garbus executive-produced the pilot.
Epps' Naptown Productions is among the production companies involved, alongside Disney's 20th Television, Pompeo's Calamity Jane, Babka Pictures, Andrew Stearn Productions and Industry Entertainment Partners.

After 'The Brady Bunch' house sold to a megafan for $3.2 million, she created a sweepstakes to let fans win tours inside— take a look.
Tina Trahan bought the "The Brady Bunch" house, which appears in the opening credits, from HGTV. The 1959 house in LA's Studio City was renovated in 2019 so its interiors now match the show's sets. In 2025, Trahan put on a sweepstakes to allow fans to tour the property. Who doesn't want to live in a classic American sitcom? The house featured in "The Brady Bunch" hit the market in May 2023 for a cool $5.5 million — and it sold in September of the same year for $3.2 million. HGTV, which purchased the home for $3.5 million in 2018, had to settle for a figure that was $2.3 million less than its initial listing and about 9% less than what it originally paid for the home, The Wall Street Journal reported. Built in 1959, the two-story home in the Studio City neighborhood of Los Angeles measures 5,140 square feet and is the embodiment of midcentury modern style. It was rebuilt to replicate the set of the TV show, the listing said. The buyer, Tina Trahan, told the Journal she was a fan of the show but didn't plan to live in the house — she said she wanted to use it for fundraising and charity events. Then, in partnership with the nonprofit No Kid Hungry, Trahan launched The Brady Experience, a sweepstakes in which participants can donate money for the chance to tour the house and eat brunch with a members of the original show's cast. Dallas, Georgia, resident Sue Myers grew up watching the Brady Bunch, and even passed that tradition on to her son. "I was the huge 'Brady' fan — I'm obviously a kid of the seventies and grew up during that time, and the Brady Bunch was on after school every day," Myers told Business Insider. "What's fun is that when becoming a parent, I've got a 24-year-old son, and so I raised him on it as well." Myers heard about the sweepstakes from a friend who knew she was a big fan, and she ended up winning an all-expenses-paid trip to Los Angeles to check out the home with her son. She went on a tour led by cast members Christopher Knight and Barry Williams, and had a brunch at the home. The renovation, which was highlighted on the TV series "A Very Brady Renovation," was flawless according to Myers. "It was so exact," she said. "It was one of those things where it was a weird feeling because when we came in, it was amazing to be there and then to see something that was so familiar to you, but in a place you've never been." Trahan told the Journal in 2023 that the house was "the worst investment ever," but has since clarified those comments, telling People that she views the home as a piece of art. "When I was buying it, I wasn't thinking, 'Oh, it was a great investment,'" Trahan told People in 2023. "When I buy art, it's because I love the art. It's not because, 'Oh, I'm going to make money on this.' If you're going to make money in art, you have to sell it. I buy art, and then I don't sell it." The first Brady Experience sweepstakes was such a success that Trahan is opening it up for another round. Trahan could not be reached for comment. Here's a look around the iconic property. The exterior of "The Brady Bunch" home was featured in the show's credits. The property was originally listed for $5.5 million. It sold for $3.2 million. Sometimes the Bradys are home. "Christopher Knight and Barry Williams, who play Greg and Peter on the show, answered the door, so that was fun," Myers said. "It was actually like walking up to the Brady House and knocking on the door, and the Bradys are there." The interior was renovated by HGTV. The network acquired the property in 2018 for $3.5 million. If you've seen the show, which aired from 1969 to 1974, then you'll recognize the staircase. The house's interior has undergone meticulous renovations to replicate the set of "The Brady Bunch" as part of HGTV's "A Very Brady Renovation," a 2019 miniseries featuring six of the surviving actors from the original sitcom. Myers was able to recreate the iconic shot on the stairs with a few cast members. Eve Plumb, who played Jan on the show, also stopped by for a surprise visit. Another feature that might evoke memories is the bright orange Formica kitchen counters. While the equipment looks similar to that of the show, none of it is operational. Myers said an actor playing Alice served them a brunch that included the famous pork chops and applesauce from the show. "Tina thought of every detail: the pork chops, the applesauce, having Alice there to serve up for everybody, and every little knickknack. Every episode was probably represented somewhere in that house." This living room was where we would see most of the cast congregate. "It is as authentic as it can be," Myers said. "I can't imagine anything else that could be replicated so perfectly because you're in a home." The property offers the high ceilings, big windows, and sliding glass doors of the show's set. "It was amazing that they could do that from a TV set to make it to be the actual home," Myers said. "You would not think you were anywhere else but in the original Brady house." All of the bedrooms are staged just as they were on the show. "I knew it was around every corner, and no, it did not disappoint," Myers said. "It was like an exact replica." Greg Brady was the eldest of the bunch, known as a ladies man. He secured his own room in the attic by season four. The actual home doesn't have an attic, so another room had to be converted into Greg's space. "They didn't have the floor plan to do that in the house, so they just made that kind of off to the side," Myers said. Even the backyard is a replica of the show. "It was just like every time I walked into a room, it was like, 'Oh, I've been here before," Myers said. "It was such a strange feeling." Tina Trahan, the house's owner, doesn't live inside but instead uses it for charitable events. After a successful run of the first Brady Experience sweepstakes, Trahan is getting ready for another round. Read the original article on Business Insider

Decades After Its Joint-Venture Journey Began, Hulu's Sole Ownership By Disney 'Finally Resolved' With $439M Payment To NBCU, Bob Iger Exults
The long and winding road of Hulu, which started in the pre-smartphone era as a streaming joint venture involving NBC and Fox, has concluded with the finalizing of Disney's buy-out of Comcast. Disney is paying an extra $438.7 million to Comcast's NBCUniversal, on top of the $8.6 billion it committed in 2023 under the terms established in a put/call arrangement unveiled in 2019. That deal, which was accompanied by Disney's $71.3 billion acquisition of most of 21st Century Fox, fueled Disney's streaming ambitions as it prepared to launch Disney+. More from Deadline It Starts On The Page (Limited): Read 'Dying For Sex' Episode 1 Script "Good Value Diet Soda" By Kim Rosenstock & Elizabeth Meriwether Iris Apatow Joins Season 3 Of Hulu's 'Tell Me Lies' As Recurring 2025 Premiere Dates For New & Returning Series On Broadcast, Cable & Streaming While Disney gained full operational control of Hulu, the agreement preserved Comcast's one-third financial position pending the outcome of negotiations over the final price. A $27.5 billion floor value was set, with multiple third-party appraisals then entering the discussions. Disney's appraisal, not surprisingly, came in below the $27.5 billion level, while NBCU rendered an estimate that was 'substantially' higher, Disney said in an SEC filing. Disney CEO Bob Iger and Comcast CEO Brian Roberts publicly jockeyed over the value of the service in a sector increasingly defined by streaming. The transaction, completed Monday, 'takes into account the valuation of a third appraiser,' the filing explained. Had the NBCU appraiser prevailed, the result would have been a payment to Comcast/NBCU of about $5 billion, Disney said. The buyout is slated to close on or before July 24. 'We are pleased this is finally resolved,' Iger said in a statement. 'We have had a productive partnership with NBCUniversal, and we wish them the best of luck. Completing the Hulu acquisition paves the way for a deeper and more seamless integration of Hulu's general entertainment content with Disney+ and, soon, with ESPN's direct-to-consumer product, providing an unrivaled value proposition for consumers.' Comcast said in a statement provided to Deadline, 'Hulu was a great start for us in streaming that generated nearly $10 billion in proceeds for Comcast and created an important audience for NBCUniversal's world-class content. We wish Disney well with Hulu and appreciate the cooperative way our teams managed the partnership.' Disney has been more closely integrating Hulu with its Disney+ flagship and its linear networks in recent years. Hulu remains a key participant in Disney's vertical bundles as well as a successful one involving a third-party, HBO Max. After NBC and Fox hopped onboard the streaming pioneer ahead of its official founding in 2007, Disney soon followed and Time Warner would go on to take a 10% stake. In-fighting often hindered the progress of Hulu as its strategy continuously shifted. While each participant in the JV fell away as companies pursued their own independent strategies, the irony is that a Hulu-style coming together of legacy players is now coalescing as media giants grapple with the costs and murky financials of streaming compared with the lucrative pay-TV business.
