The Dropout on SBS2 begins with a double episode, starring Amanda Seyfried as Elizabeth Holmes in the drama inspired by the rise and fall of Theranos.
The eight-part series follows Holmes as she pursues a bold idea for a blood-testing company. Her ambition and confidence attract attention, but the promise of Theranos soon comes under immense pressure.
Seyfried leads a cast that turns a headline-making business story into a character-driven drama. The series charts the distance between the company’s public image and the questions building around it.
The double premiere gives viewers a substantial introduction to Holmes’ world and the early decisions that shape the story.
The Dropout premieres Sunday 13 September with episodes at 8.30pm and 9.30pm on SBS2 and SBS On Demand.
