Amidst the rat race of streaming sensations, Netflix has been on a mission to keep trailblazing, no matter what. With each new addition outshining the anticipation for the last, the subscribers’ popcorn buckets might run out but not the streaming giant’s expansive roster. Although one trump card is allotted in every deck, Netflix has flipped the script on that myth, pulling one blockbuster after another. As the hype grows around the OTT platform’s 2025 releases, the question surrounds Good American Family as well. 

So, is Good American Family available on Netflix? Here is an overview of all that you need to know about it.

The inspirational but shocking story of Good American Family, starring Ellen Pompeo was officially released on March 19, 2025. However, since it is a Hulu series, it is unavailable on Netflix. The first two episodes hit the streaming service on Wednesday. The weekly episodes are available for viewers to access on Hulu. If not, they can stream it with a Disney+ subscription with a Hulu add-on. 

Good American Family’s weekly episodes will have releases on Wednesdays as well. The show is reportedly inspired by Ukrainian orphan Natalia Grace Barnett. However, Good American Family revolves around more than one perspective and story surrounding a Midwestern couple. The Barnett family’s story was focused on multiple projects in recent years including its induction into ID’s documentary roster of fan-favorites with The Curious Case of Natalia Grace.

That said, is Good American Family just inspirational or does it entirely focus on the Barnett family?

Good American Family is definitely inspired by multiple interpretations about a Midwestern couple who adopted a child with a rare form of dwarfism. Though Natalia Grace Barnett and her family are not nowhere to be found in the show’s description, it is largely believed as a dramatization of the events that unfolded in the Barnett family. The case gained severe media traction in 2012 when Grace Barnett’s former adoptive family claimed she was not a child but an adult. 

The adoptive parents in Good American Family grew equally suspicious of the girl in question, making similar claims as the Barnett family, citing she poses an imminent harm. For those wondering who Natalia Grace Barnett is, she is an Ukrainian orphan who was taken in by an Indiana couple in 2010, who believed she was 6/7 years old then. She was reportedly diagnosed with spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia congenita, a genetic condition characterized by skeletal deficiency, including short stature and spinal deformities.
