Hulu released a sneak-peek of <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/emma-roberts-amanda-seyfried-2019" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Amanda Seyfried</a> as disgraced entrepreneur Elizabeth Holmes in the Silicon Valley drama series, The Dropout.&nbsp;Centered around Holmes' Theranos, a blood-testing startup that swindled millions of dollars for faulty equipment is based on the eponymous ABC podcast by Rebecca Jarvis, Victoria Thompson, and Taylor Dunn.
Seyfried confirmed her participation in the film in March 2021 after <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/kim-kardashian-host-snl-highlights-funniest-moments" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Saturday Night Live </a>star Kate McKinnon dropped out of production. In the early look at Seyfried, the actress is seen sporting Holmes' iconic black turtleneck, chignon bun, albeit with a cleaner red lip.&nbsp;
After Theranos was valued at over $9 billion, Holmes was coined the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/politics-culture/bumble-founder-whitney-wolfe-herd-youngest-self-made-billionaire-tinder" target="_blank" rel="noopener">youngest self-made billionaire</a> by Forbes magazine. With support from financial and tech superstars, Holmes raised $1.3 billion in venture-backed funding before it came to the light the technology was defunct. Holmes now stands trial for 12 counts of wire fraud and conspiracy to commit wire fraud; she currently faces up to 20 years in prison.&nbsp;
Dunn, Jarvis, and Thompson are set to executive producer alongside showrunner Elizabeth Meriwether.&nbsp;
