The Emmy-winning SNL star is closing to a deal to portray the disgraced Theranos founder in a limited drama series based on ABC News/ABC Radio's The Dropout podcast, which has delved into Holmes' rise and fall. McKinnon will also serve as an executive producer on the series that is expected to run six to 10 episodes. It's unclear if The Dropout will air before or after the Adam McKay-directed Theranos film Bad Blood, starring Jennifer Lawrence as Holmes, hits theaters.
