Although it was released in 2022, the series The Dropout is having a bit of a pop culture moment in 2026, thanks to the new Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim documentary You Can See Everything. The documentary follows one month before Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes is sent to federal prison for wire fraud, as the directors have unlimited access to her and her family.

The Dropout serves as a companion piece to You Can See Everything because the series is referenced multiple times throughout the film, while it’s also intertwined with Holmes’ story in the lead up to her life behind bars.
