Hulu’s official cast and credits page confirms the cast categories. Its talent bios index is a collection of performer biographies, not a role-by-role credit list, so names beyond the supported assignments above should not be treated as confirmed character credits.
Who does Ellen Pompeo play?
Pompeo plays Kristine Barnett, the adoptive mother at the center of the series’ family story, as identified by the Associated Press. Mark Duplass plays her husband Michael, while Imogen Faith Reid plays Natalia. Hulu’s platform synopsis describes the premise more generally as a Midwestern couple adopting a girl with a rare form of dwarfism, without naming those characters on the series page.

Why does the story change perspective?
The series moves from the adoptive parents’ point of view to Natalia’s, using flashbacks and jumps forward. The shift encourages viewers to reconsider what they thought they understood as new perspectives emerge. It is a storytelling approach, not a documentary method for establishing what happened in the real case.
Creator and co-showrunner Katie Robbins told the Associated Press that the writers used research while amplifying or adjusting moments for dramatic license. Good American Family is therefore a dramatization inspired by a real case—not a documentary record or a definitive resolution of disputed events. Hulu’s synopsis likewise presents questions about Natalia’s age and background as part of the series premise, not as findings about the real people involved.
