TV-MASeason 1
She had the world at the tip of her finger.
Synopsis
The Dropout (2022), Season 1 is a Hulu drama you can watch online on iFILM — eight episodes that trace how Elizabeth Holmes walked out of Stanford to reinvent the blood test.
This is the show's only season, and it runs the full arc: from a nervous pitch in front of Silicon Valley investors to a courtroom reckoning. Amanda Seyfried plays Holmes as she wills Theranos into existence, lands the Walgreens deal, and keeps burying one inconvenient fact — the machine doesn't do what she keeps promising. Around her sit Sunny Balwani, a board that smells smoke, and an old chemist named Ian who asks the wrong questions. Then two fresh graduates, Tyler Schultz and Erika Cheung, see what's really happening on the lab floor, and the Wall Street Journal starts circling.
Adapted from the ABC News podcast and John Carreyrou's reporting, the miniseries lives on Seyfried's Emmy-winning turn: the lowered voice, the unblinking stare, the rehearsed founder smile. Good for anyone drawn to stories about big promises collapsing in slow motion. Stream The Dropout Season 1 online on iFILM.
