More about The Curious Case of Natalia Grace
The first season of the ID docuseries explored the story of little Natalia, a 6-year-old Ukrainian orphan who was diagnosed with a rare form of dwarfism and was adopted by an American family, the Barnetts.
Things were going fine until the adoptive parents began to suspect that Natalia was a fully functioning adult masquerading as a little kid to harm and terrorize them. Court records and DNA testing confirmed that Natalia was a child who was born in 2003, but both the Barnetts remain unconvinced.
The first season primarily focused on Kristine and Michael Barnett and the story they had to tell. The second season, subtitled Natalia Speaks, will feature an extensive, emotional sit-down between Natalia and her adoptive father, Michael Barnett. The two meet face-to-face for the first time since the shocking allegations of lies and abuse first went public.
The docuseries will feature the two coming to terms with the accusations thrown around in both directions and offer new insight into what went down behind closed doors in the Barnetts family.
The documentary uses a combination of interviews conducted with the involved parties, third-party observers, and behavioral experts. It also features behind-the-scenes footage that will corroborate the narratives to showcase both sides of the case.
Don't miss watching The Curious Case of Natalia Grace, which is now available for streaming on Max and Discovery+.
