THE ACT, The Shockingly True Mother/Daughter Murder Series Starring Joey King is Now Available on Hulu

Starting today, you can now stream a true crime series on Hulu that is too crazy to believe. The story which was featured in the 2017 HBO documentary Mommy Dead and Dearest is the first story in a new seasonal anthology series by Hulu called The Act that tells startling, stranger-than-fiction true crime stories.

The first season follows Gypsy Blanchard (Joey King), a girl trying to escape the toxic relationship she has with her overprotective mother, Dee Dee (Patricia Arquette). Her quest for independence opens a Pandora’s box of secrets, one that ultimately leads to murder.

Doting mother Dee Dee Blanchard and her sweet daughter Gypsy arrive in a new neighborhood, where Gypsy feels lonely due to a barrage of medical issues and eager to make friends. But as the series progresses, which is based on a true story, Gypsy starts to question the lies her mother tells her — especially about how old she really is and if she’s really sick.

The series stars Joey King, the breakout star from hit Netflix movie The Kissing Booth, Academy-Award winner Patricia Arquette, and Academy-Award nominated actress Chloë Sevigny.
