For Liz Meriwether, getting new transcripts as she was shooting the Amanda Seyfried drama was both terrifying and exhilarating.

Halfway through shooting “The Dropout,” showrunner Liz Meriwether received 1,000-plus pages of court documents from the fraud trial of Elizabeth Holmes that would impact her story of the founder of blood-testing startup Theranos.

source material, trying to piece together the mystery of what had happened between Elizabeth Holmes and Sunny Balwani behind closed doors at Theranos. The document was 1,451 pages. The text messages didn’t even start until Page 707. Rows and columns. Dates. Times. There was a disorienting business-like organization to the conversations. The drama and emotion and panic and love were reduced to data on a spreadsheet. These people who had become characters in my mind and flesh and blood on camera were living out the worst moments of their lives through subpoenaed text messages.

version of Elizabeth Holmes’ distinct voice. Even through a mask, it felt electric. I watched as these two actors made sense of a relationship that had been such a struggle to write. The last thing they needed were a million script changes based on these new text messages.
