"we’ve seen orphan already"

The internet is doing what it does best: weaving funny theories around what the series is going to be and carving out funny memes. What else could give netizens a perfect entertainment kick other than the comedic contrast between the series's genre and the humor that unfolds in the comment section?

Fans are having a deja-vu moment as they wear their detective hats to see how are they feeling about the upcoming show. Good American Family is due for its premiere in July 2025, to be available on Hulu.

Coming to Ellen Pompeo, we all know her from her outstanding performance in fan favorite drama series The Grey's Anatomy. The titular character from Seattle Grace Hospital will now tangle herself into a thrilling story that centers around a little girl and an American family as the title, Good American Family, suggests.

What's in store? Well, we are not yet ready to comment on that but fans appear to be having a good time spreading laughter over the trailer that roughly spans over 2 minutes. When it comes to internet hilarity, no 2 minutes are too short to not spark a wave of funny reactions.
