A surge in interest around A24’s newly released documentary “You Can See Everything” is driving a sharp rise in viewing for Hulu’s “The Dropout,” the 2022 limited series starring Amanda Seyfried as Elizabeth Holmes. Variety reports that viewership for “The Dropout” increases by 186% in September compared with the previous month after a Sept. 6 announcement of the documentary’s first teaser.
Across coverage, outlets link the spike specifically to the documentary’s momentum and the heightened public attention to the Theranos fraud scandal. One outlet adds that “You Can See Everything” also lifts interest in the narrative TV series “The Dropout” and references renewed attention to “Bad Blood,” a 2018 book about the scandal. Other articles focus less on the viewership data and instead describe the documentary’s framing, including Holmes reacting to her portrayal on “The Dropout.”
