If a book, podcast, and pair of ABC and HBO documentaries weren't enough, Elizabeth Holmes' prominence in the media will soon continue in the form of a Hulu-exclusive TV series.

Deadline reported on Wednesday that the co-founder and disgraced CEO of Theranos will be played by Kate McKinnon (SNL, Ghostbusters) in a series called The Dropout, named after the podcast that chronicled the rise and fall of Holmes' formerly $4 billion health-tech company. The TV version is described as a "limited series" with an expected length of 6-10 episodes.

McKinnon will be joined on the production front by major players from ABC's Dropout podcast, including its host and creator Rebecca Jarvis. Since the series is being reported as very recently "ordered," no other information (including supporting cast or writers) has yet been revealed.
