Ellen Pompeo, known for her iconic role as Meredith Grey in the long-running medical drama 'Grey's Anatomy', is set to take on a new leading role in the mini-series 'Good American Family'. This marks her first major departure from the character she has portrayed for over 20 years. In 'Good American Family', which premieres on Disney+ on April 16, 2025, Pompeo plays an adoptive mother involved in a troubling narrative based on the true story of Natalia Grace, a girl with dwarfism whose adoptive parents believe she is an adult. Pompeo has expressed her desire to prove her versatility as an actress beyond her previous role, describing this new character as a significant challenge.
