Amanda Seyfried replaces Kate McKinnon in The Dropout

Looks like Kate McKinnon’s casting as Elizabeth Holmes was like Theranos himself from the start: an elaborate ruse that didn’t come to fruition. After it was reported in February that McKinnon had dropped the Hulu miniseries The dropout, Hollywood journalist reports that Amanda Seyfried will replace her in the role of Silicon Valley “entrepreneur”, currently awaiting trial for fraud. The dropout was supposed to start filming after the current season of Saturday Night Live wrapped to fit McKinnon’s schedule; it is not known whether the redesign will affect production, although the Journalist notes that Seyfried, who recently received an Oscar nomination for Mank, will become a producer of the limited series.
