The actress was tapped to play the disgraced businesswoman in the upcoming drama series.
The series is based on a podcast of the same name by ABC Radio, which was hosted by Rebecca Jarvis.
When the series was first announced in February, “Saturday Night Live” star Kate McKinnon was initially set to play Holmes. However, the following month, McKinnon withdrew from the project and was replaced by Seyfried. “The Dropout” will also star William H. Macy, Laurie Metcalf and Elizabeth Marvel, among others.
Holmes’ story has been retold a number of times in the past. In 2018, journalist John Carreyrou, a former reporter with The Wall Street Journal, wrote a nonfiction book “Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup,” detailing his experience covering the rise and fall of Theranos. Following the release of the ABC Radio podcast, HBO premiered a two-hour documentary called “The Inventor: Out for Blood in Silicon Valley” in March 2019.
Earlier this month, it was reported that Apple Studios is planning a film adaptation of Carreyrou’s book, with Jennifer Lawrence starring as Holmes. The movie is set to be directed by Adam McKay and written by Vanessa Taylor.
