Oscar-nominated actress and Allentown, Lehigh County native Amanda Seyfried will star as Elizabeth Holmes in the limited series 'The Dropout' premiering on Hulu next month.

A limited series detailing the rise and fall of American entrepreneur Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos is among the new shows and movies that will be premiering on Hulu in March.

"The Dropout" stars Oscar-nominated actress and Allentown, Lehigh County native Amanda Seyfried as Holmes, who dropped out of Stanford University to start the medical technology company in 2003.

Holmes established Theranos as a breakthrough technology that could conduct blood tests and check for diseases with just a small amount of blood. The startup was once valued at roughly $9 billion and made Holmes the world's youngest, self-made female billionaire.

However, the company's technology was eventually found to be fraudulent. Holmes was charged in 2018 with 11 counts of wire fraud and conspiracy to defraud investors, and Theranos went under shortly after. Holmes was found guilty last month on four of the counts and could now face decades in prison.

The eight-episode show is based upon the ABC podcast series from 2019 bearing the same title.

Along with Seyfried, the series stars Naveen Andrews, Utkarsh Ambudkar, Kate Burton, Michel Gill, LisaGay Hamilton, William H. Macy, Elizabeth Marvel, Laurie Metcalf, Dylan Minnette, Alan Ruck, Sam Waterston and Michaela Watkins.

"The Dropout" will debut March 3 on Hulu.

Other notable titles arriving to the streaming service in March include "Life & Beth," starring Amy Schumer and Michael Cera on March 18 and "The Girl From Plainville," starring Elle Fanning and Colton Ryan on March 29.

Popular movies like Will Smith's "Ali," Adam Sandler's "Grown Ups" and the mockumentary "Borat" will depart Hulu next month.
