Joey King is about to show you why she’s one of the most versatile young actresses out there today!

The 19-year-old actress stars in the new Hulu series The Act and she is bringing the real-life story of Gypsy Blanchard to the screen. The official trailer for the show was just released.

The first season of the new anthology series follows Gypsy, 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.

Also starring in the series are Chloe Sevigny, AnnaSophia Robb, and Calum Worthy. The first two episode of The Act premiere on Hulu on Wednesday, March 20, with the remaining six episodes streaming weekly.

The series is co-created by Michelle Dean and Nick Antosca, based on Dean‘s original Buzzfeed article, “Dee Dee Wanted Her Daughter To Be Sick, Gypsy Wanted Her Mom Murdered.”
