Production
editIn August 2022, it was reported that Hulu had ordered a limited series inspired by true events of Natalia Grace's life, created by Katie Robbins. Ellen Pompeo signed on to star as Kristine Barnett and executive produce under her Calamity Jane banner, along with Laura Holstein. Sarah Sutherland, Mike Epps, Dan Spilo, Niles Kirchner, and Andrew Stearn also executive produce.[2]
Produced by ABC Signature, the series was written by Robbins and Sutherland and is told from multiple points of view to "reflect the conflicting narratives of its central characters". Liz Garbus directs and executive produces the pilot.[3] In March 2024, Mark Duplass was cast to play Michael Barnett. The following month, Dulé Hill and Sarayu Blue were cast in recurring roles.[4] By July 2024, principal photography was taking place in Santa Clarita, California.[5]
