Mike Epps is diving deep into his producing bag as he is an executive producer on Hulu’s upcoming limited series, Good American Family.

As the drama unfolds, accusations fly, fears grow, and the family becomes entangled in a web of legal battles and media scrutiny. The story ultimately questions the nature of truth, perception, and how society interprets innocence and guilt.
