Although she’s one of the most recognizable faces on television, Ellen Pompeo felt as if the team behind “Good American Family” took a chance on her.

For nearly two decades, Pompeo starred in “Grey’s Anatomy” as the show’s namesake character Meredith Grey. But in 2022, Pompeo announced that she would be scaling back her appearances on the show to work on a new project that would become her first major role outside of the long-running medical drama.

That chance has come in the form of Hulu’s limited series premiering Wednesday that’s based on the real-life story of the Barnett family and Natalia Grace, a Ukrainian girl with a rare form of dwarfism. The Indiana family’s adoption of Natalia, subsequent abandonment of her and the charges that followed made headlines across the across country, later becoming the subject of the three-season Investigation Discovery docuseries “The Curious Case of Natalia Grace” and now @goodamericanfamilyhulu.

In the series, Pompeo stars alongside Mark Duplass, playing Kristine and Michael Barnett, the couple who adopted Natalia, played by Imogen Faith Reid. “Good American Family” is told from different points of view to illustrate the conflicting accounts of what happened between members of the family.

For Pompeo, stepping into her first post-”Grey’s” role was daunting, especially when it was a character as complicated as this one. “I didn’t know if I could do it,” she said. “I’ve done the same thing for 20 years. I didn’t know if I could do anything else. Why would anybody believe that I could?”

But Duplass, who said she expressed those worries to him when they first met up to discuss the project over a sushi dinner, helped put her mind at ease. He recalled her asking, “Am I going to be able to do this?”

“I’m like, ‘Of course you’re gonna be able to f— do this, but I love that you think you might not, because that makes me feel safe,” Duplass said.

First Look: In her first role since ‘Grey’s Anatomy,’ @ellenpompeo takes on a controversial real-life figure in @goodamericanfamilyhulu.

Based on the true story of Natalia Grace, the limited series follows a Midwestern couple (portrayed by Pompeo and Mark Duplass) who adopt a Ukrainian child who has a rare form of dwarfism. But over time, they become suspicious that she is not a child at all—and are concerned their lives are in danger.

For Pompeo, taking on the complicated role of Kristine Barnett was a challenge that often left her wondering if she could pull it off. After such a long stint on ‘Grey’s Anatomy,’ the actor admits she had a lot to prove. “There’s a tremendous amount of pressure on me,” she tells VF. “Why would anybody believe that I could do anything other than play Meredith Grey, myself included?”

At the link in bio, take an exclusive early look at the show, which also stars Imogen Faith Reid, Dulé Hill, Sarayu Blue, and Christina Hendricks.
