The Act Season 1: Cast details of Hulu's highly anticipated show

The Act is set to premiere on March 20 on Hulu and stars Patricia Arquetter and Joey King in lead roles.

'The Act', one of Hulu's original shows set to premiere on March 20, is based on real-life events that happened in 2015 and was the subject of a famous BuzzFeed article. The dead body of one DeeDee Blanchard was found at her residence following a hate message on her Facebook page.

Neighbours who turned up at her residence to check were shocked to find that DeeDee's then 19-year-old daughter Gypsy was missing. Gypsy suffered from various medical conditions, and according to the neighbours, her wheelchair, without which she couldn't move, was still at home. 

Things were, however, not as they appeared on the surface and the police found shocking truths about DeeDee's murder and her daughter Gypsy. The show stars Patricia Arquette and Joey King in the two lead roles. Here's a look at the main characters in the show.
