The Act

HOW/WHEN & WHERE TO WATCH: Streaming on Hulu

Series Debut
The toxic, secret-filled relationship between Gypsy Rose Blanchard and her oppressive mother, Dee Dee, which ended in a twisted murder, is the foundation of Hulu's true-crime anthology series The Act, starring Oscar and Emmy winner Patricia Arquette as Dee Dee and Joey King as Gypsy Rose. "Getting into the emotion and getting into the character of Gypsy was something I was so excited to tackle, but I was also admittedly super-nervous for," King tells EW. "This is the first time I've ever gotten the privilege to really, really transform myself for a role."
