How to Watch "The Act: Dee Dee and Gypsy Rose" In Australia

Prepare to be disturbed and obsessed by The Act in equal measure.

Munchausen syndrome by proxy is where a caregiver concocts a false narrative of illness and injury about the child or person in their care. The caregiver with this condition will often forge medical tests and could even intentionally harm the person in their care with their reasons for doing so being vague.

Unfortunately, that's exactly what happened in the real-life case of US woman Dee Dee Blanchard and her daughter, Gypsy Rose, which all ended in utter tragedy.

Recent Hulu series The Act: Dee Dee and Gypsy tells this story and it's terrifying stuff.

Patricia Arquette plays the overprotective Dee Dee, while Joey King stars as Gypsy Rose, who begins to realise the extent of her mother's lies and tries to rebel.

It's the latest true crime drama you'll want to hate-watch.

How can I watch it in Australia?

This one's actually pretty simple. Episodes of The Act: Dee Dee and Gypsy will debut on Tuesday 18 June at 9.30pm AEST on Fox Showcase with each of remaining seven episodes showing each week after. If Tuesday nights just ain't your thing, you can also stream it on Foxtel Now whenever you damn well please.
