The First Pictures of Amanda Seyfried as Elizabeth Holmes Are Here

Few scandals in recent memory have captured the public’s attention quite like the dramatic fall from grace of Elizabeth Holmes. Holmes, of course, is the Silicon Valley entrepreneur whose health tech start-up, Theranos, falsely promised a revolutionary new blood testing method, and went from being valued at $9 billion—making Holmes the world’s youngest self-made female billionaire—to zero. Following a series of high-profile exposés by The Wall Street Journal, along with the hit podcast The Dropout and Alex Gibney’s docuseries The Inventor on HBO, the Theranos debacle became a highlight of 2019’s so-called “summer of scam,” alongside the dealings of Anna Delvey and Fyre Festival.

So, it was only a matter of time before a fictional retelling of Holmes’s story hit our screens—and yesterday, we got our first glimpse of Hulu’s spin, The Dropout, starring Amanda Seyfried. (The creators of the eponymous podcast are serving as executive producers on the limited series, which will premiere on March 3, 2022.) In new images from the show, described as “an unbelievable tale of ambition and fame gone terribly wrong,” we see Seyfried with a number of Holmes’s distinguishing features: her heavy eyeliner, red lipstick, straight blonde hair, and most notably, the signature black turtleneck she wore to model herself after Steve Jobs, her hero.
