Ever since Hulu announced it was turning Elizabeth Holmes's story [1] into a series back in 2019, we've been anxiously awaiting new developments. Well, on Dec. 15, we finally got a first look at Amanda Seyfried [2] as the one and only Theranos founder — black turtleneck and all. Kate McKinnon was originally set to play Holmes [3], but she later dropped out of the project, with Seyfried replacing her in 2021. The show will also star Naveen Andrews as Holmes's business partner and ex-boyfriend Sunny Balwani.

For those unfamiliar with the story, Holmes was on track to become the youngest self-made woman billionaire after she introduced revolutionary technology that could replace traditional blood tests. However, the whole thing turned out to be nothing but a lie. The trailer, which dropped on Feb. 7, shows the great lengths Holmes went to deceive people and how Balwani, along with several others, played a part in the scam. Holmes was recently found guilty [4] on four out of 11 federal charges of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and nine counts of wire fraud. She currently faces up to 20 years in prison, in addition to a fine of $250,000 plus restitution for each count.

Based on ABC's podcast of the same name, "The Dropout" is set to premiere on March 3, 2022.
